    Overview

    Offering 4-week pre-college intensives for high school students interested in art, design, music, film, musical theater, and dance in beautiful Seattle, WA.

    We believe that creative learning is a balance of technical skill development in one core discipline while continuing to develop creative expression through multiple artistic modalities. The 21st century artist must be able to work in cross-discipline environments which often involve a creative mix of music, drama, drawing, film, and storytelling. Additionally, real-world problem-solving through the arts is an ever-growing area for careers across technology, health, education, and the formal arts industries. Summer@Cornish supports youth to develop fine art techniques, design-thinking skills, and social and emotional insights.

    Whether it is a 4-week, all-day program with a morning foundation course and 2 electives weekly, or just one elective two afternoons a week, our program helps teens enter at a point that is right for them. A sample schedule is indicated below:

    Cost and Session Information

    Individual Electives = $730 
    Foundations Course = $3,160 

    10% discount off tuition before 3/1/2024

    • The instructors were amazing! It taught me most of what I know about the college application process as well as the life of a college student.

      - Art and Design Student - July 1, 2018

    • I loved the program. When I went in I knew almost nothing about film and the program did an excellent job preparing me for other projects I wanted to work on. Summer at Cornish gave me insight on what art education could be like and inspired the idea of pursuing film.
