PCA Offers Pre-College Summer Classes
We still have spaces for students seeking to gain experience and build their portfolios before university.
PCA's Summer Program offers an exciting set of courses in the fields of art, design, and culture.
PCA's 2-week pre-college courses are specifically designed for high school students (age 16+) preparing their application materials, with an emphasis on portfolio development and skills needed to apply to art school. Our courses are taught in English, count for 3 academic credits, and we take full advantage of the city of Paris as an extension of the classroom. Housing for students under 18 years old includes the support and supervision of an on-site Resident Assistant.
In-person Summer Program Details
All courses are worth 3 credits, and an official transcript will be sent upon successful completion of the course. Students can opt to audit courses (i.e. participate without receiving academic credit) in which case they will receive a certificate of completion in lieu of a transcript.
