This summer, follow a college-level curriculum in the format that works for you with Pre-Collegiate Programs at Rhode Island School of Design. Applications open November 14, 2023.
Our residential Pre-College program allows you to live like a RISD student and work alongside hundreds of other creative, highly motivated students who will inspire you to push your limits and produce your best work.
Advanced Program Online, our online intensive for change makers, will also open November 14, 2023.
Both programs offer a college-level curriculum that provides a strong foundational understanding of drawing and design principles.
Whether on-campus or online, you’ll participate in courses led by our reputable teaching artists. Learn to manage time and self-motivate, and develop concepts, sketches and finished pieces. Leave with a portfolio that can be a major asset in your college application.
