In-Person Offerings
At CCA’s Pre-College Program, you’ll join a diverse group of creative thinkers and makers who share your passion for art and design. The program is open to all interested participants, those with little art and design experience and those with advanced skills. Summer 2023 marks the second time that CCA’s Pre-College program will be held exclusively in San Francisco!
We offer housing as well as meal plans for residential and commuter students.
Participants will have the opportunity to take studio-focused, college-level courses to help push beyond concepts to portfolio-ready pieces while earning 3 college credits.
