A college-preparatory education on Long Island’s North Shore — small classes, real mentorship, and the room to become genuinely yourself.
The studio is where the ideas become real.
Our studios are open, not precious. Beginning students learn to see — value, proportion, composition — while advanced students build portfolios strong enough for BFA programs. Everyone critiques, everyone revises, and everyone shows their work.
Class sizes stay small enough that faculty sit beside students at the wheel or the easel. By senior year, many artists have a coherent body of work and their own exhibition on campus.

What does a typical academic day look like?
Students carry a balanced load of six to seven courses, with built-in time for advising, extra help, and independent study. Block scheduling means longer, deeper class periods and a calmer daily rhythm — with afternoons reserved for athletics, arts, and activities.
