School visits and portfolio reviews
If you are a teacher or counselor who would like to invite your region’s admissions officer for a school visit, or to host a portfolio review, know that we do our best every year to accommodate such requests from schools.
Since visits are in high demand, we cannot meet every request, and we do not visit middle school grades and lower.
To request a visit, please follow the link below. You will receive a response from an Admissions Office representative.
Upcoming events for counselors and educators
Periodically, we offer special events geared to the needs of secondary-school art teachers, guidance counselors, and other school mentors. In addition, you may want to check out our other programming for prospective students.
