The Parsons Academy Certificate Program is a noncredit program for students in grades 9 through 12 who plan to apply to colleges of art and design. Our curriculum and collaborative culture help students create work that reflects the strength of their ideas, skills, and understanding of technique.

Certificate students select a total of six courses, including foundation courses, electives, and a portfolio development course. Courses are available in the spring, summer, and fall. Create a timeline to certificate completion that is perfect for you and your schedule as a high school student.
