Find UsWe offer a wide range of elective art courses, such as painting, drawing, digital art, fashion design, and 3D design. These courses allow students to explore different disciplines and discover their personal artistic direction. Through this process, students naturally build a well-rounded portfolio as part of their regular coursework, giving them a distinct advantage in art school admissions.
All of our classes, including art, are conducted in small groups, allowing teachers to provide personalized, one-on-one feedback. This structure supports each student’s academic and artistic growth, helping them reach their full potential in both areas.
We provide comprehensive support for international students, including ESL classes, academic advising, and university preparation.
In art classes, visual expression and creativity are emphasized, allowing students to confidently engage in their work, regardless of their English level — and naturally improve their language skills along the way. Each student receives a personalized academic plan based on their goals and intended major.
Whether applying to universities in Canada, the U.S., or elsewhere, students are guided through a strategic course selection process that helps them prepare efficiently and effectively for post-secondary studies in the arts.
