Parsons Academy offers a variety of art and design courses for students in grades 3 through 12 in subjects ranging from drawing and painting to design disciplines such as fashion design, interior design, animation, and more. Students in grades 9 through 12 with art and design experience can take our portfolio development course to re-envision their current body of work as they create portfolio presentations for the college admissions process. Classes meet on campus on Saturdays in the fall and spring semesters.
We also offer Portfolio Development Strategies, a five-week asynchronous online course for students in grades 9 through 12. High school students can take a series of courses to complete the Parsons Academy Certificate program.
Students in grades 3 through 12 who are interested in summer art and design courses can visit our Parsons Summer Academy program page.
The noncredit Parsons Academy Certificate Program supports students in grades 9 through 12 as they create a college admissions portfolio. Our world-class faculty help students employ basic skills and original thinking in a collaborative environment.
Parsons Scholars is a college preparatory program that makes Parsons instruction available to talented students who might not otherwise have such an opportunity. The program offers multi-year scholarships to students attending New York City public high schools.
