Summer Programs

Summer Pre-College Program

Lyme Academy’s Pre-College Program offers immersive studio classes where students develop skills in drawing, painting, and sculpture while learning the discipline of studio practice. Working in professional studios with Lyme Academy faculty and visiting artists, students strengthen observational skills, explore materials and techniques, and gain confidence in their creative work.

Students may enroll in Pre-College Classes or create an art school portfolio in our Pre-College Portfolio Prep Program designed for rising high school seniors preparing for art school applications.

Classes are designed for students ages 14–18, and all levels of experience are welcome. Younger students with strong interest or prior experience may be considered with permission. Families are encouraged to contact the Academy to discuss whether a class may be an appropriate fit.
