    Overview

    Parsons Summer Academy offers a variety of dynamic in-person non-credit art and design courses for students in grades 3 through 12. Join us for two weeks in August at our Greenwich Village campus to explore art and design through hands-on projects that develop your creative thinking skills, techniques, and collaborative abilities. Students grades 9-12 can also focus on creating a specialized fine art or design portfolio. 

    Parsons Summer Academy classes are conducted in three groups, divided by traditional school grade level. Students should select the appropriate course by using their grade levels they are rising into in the following fall as a guide. In addition to summer courses, we offer a variety of fall and spring courses.

    • Grades 3-5: Cartooning, Foundations of Art & Design, and Toy Design.
    • Grades 6-8: Animation, Design & Wear, Digital Video & Photography, Fashion Design, Game Design, and Painting & Drawing.
    • Grades 9-12: Accessory Design, Animation, Architecture, Digital Video & Photography, Graphic Design, Illustration, Interior Design, Product Design, and more.

    The on-campus youth and pre-college program will run from July 31 through August 11, 2023, with three hours of creative programming for students in grades 3-5 and six hours of immersive art and design explorations for students in grades 6-12 each weekday, five days a week for two weeks.
