School for Creative Arts (SCA) is the future home of Cornish’s extension program, including pre-collegeSummer@Cornish, year-round studio classes, as well as community and corporate partnerships. Programs begin this fall and will fully launch in September 2023.
Our Approach
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 technique, design-thinking skills, and social and emotional insights.
