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 2022 marks the first time that CCA’s Pre-College program will be scheduled exclusively in San Francisco!
This summer we will be offering 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.
