Summer Academy: High School Design Exploration

Summer Academy has been introducing high school students to the fields of architecture and spatial design since 1973.

Are you considering a career in architecture or design? Are you working on your portfolio for college admission? Or are you simply curious about design? The Summer Academy at The Boston Architectural College offers an opportunity to study design with a hands-on approach and with no previous design experience required.

Summer Academy students experiment with materials, build structures, test professional design software, visit professional firms, and explore buildings like libraries and museums in Boston.

Students who complete the Summer Academy Program earn three college credits and are eligible for a $2,000 scholarship towards one of our undergraduate programs.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Application Deadline: Monday, June 3

A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available based on financial need and through the Robert Houseman Fund, a gift to the BAC, established to promote diversity in the design professions.

Scholarship applicants must include a letter of recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor and an essay in addition to the Summer Academy Application Form.

Students applying for scholarships do not need to submit tuition payment with their registration. Once scholarships are awarded, the tuition balance, if you receive a partial scholarship, will be due.
