Advanced Placement Art

The Advanced Placement Program in Art is an excellent opportunity for students to develop artistically.  They will put together a portfolio and have it read by a jury of artists in New York.  If the portfolios are evaluated favourably, students may then apply for university credit.  This is a prestigious program and an excellent asset to any résumé. 

Students who are planning a career in the arts must submit a general portfolio as part of the entrance requirements into art school.  This program provides an opportunity to do so under the guidance of the Art Department.

Students interested in this program will not only follow the Art 10/20/30 program but also attend weekly tutorials offered outside of the regular school day.  During these tutorials, students will work on assigned projects for portfolio development, areas of concentration and complete in-class projects.  A small studio fee will be charged to cover additional material costs.

Students must maintain an 80% average in Art 20 in order to enrol in the AP program.  This program is designed for students who enjoy being challenged, are risk takers and are capable of insightful, problem solving in creating art works.
