Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
➔ Do you provide art supplies?
Our school does NOT provide art supplies, and students are responsible for their own supplies. This is because we offer a personalized project plan for each student, which includes a unique list of supplies based on their individual needs.
Our Admissions can assist with purchasing art supplies and recommend specific brands and materials upon registration.
