Summer Art Studios

The Summer Art Studios student release form should be completed online at the time of registration. Those registering online will be prompted to fill out the form after completing the student registration. NOTE: All forms must be completed prior to the start of the first class. If you have any questions, please call the Young Artist Programs Director at 210.200.8213.

You can submit the form online or download the Release Form. 

The Summer Art Studios classes are broken into the following age bracts—Kids Art Camp: 5–6, 7–9, 8– 12 and 11–14, and Teens Studio Intensive: 14–18 (listed in a separate catalog.) The curriculum for each class has been developed to fit the skill level of the student in that specific age range. As such, class selections should be based on each student’s age, rather than on his/her artistic ability. Please register your child according to his/her age (no exceptions to this policy are allowed).

We treat our youngest artists— the 5- and 6-year olds—differently. Instructors have skills and training specific to early or primary education. 5 - and 6-year olds may enroll for half-days, mornings only.

If you would like to register a child or teen with special learning or medical needs, please contact the Young Artist Programs Director prior to completing the registration process. The Young Artist Programs Director can be reached at 210.200.8213 and will be happy to discuss any special accommodations or arrangements that can be provided.

The basic tuition for a half-day class is $175 per week (Friends of SSA $160). Note: Special tuition rates apply for 2-week classes, and classes that include special material fees. Tuition for each of these classes is listed separately, as part of the class description. 

Participation in Extended Care is required for all students who will be attending both a morning class and an afternoon class, on the same day. Extended Care provides structured supervision from 8:30am – 5:30pm, including: early arrival, a lunch break, an afternoon activity, and a snack break. The cost for Extended Care is $30 per week.

A supervised lunch break is provided from noon - 1:00pm, as part of Extended Care Service. Students participating in Extended Care may bring their own bag lunch, drinks, and snacks to eat during the supervised lunch hour. Prepared, bag lunches may also be pre-purchased as part of Extended Care. Pre-prepared bag lunches are provided by the SSA Café, at a cost of $8 per day. If you would like to purchase an entire week of lunches, you can do so online when signing up for Extended Care or Complete our Online Lunch Order Form. If your student has food allergies, please let us know at the time of purchase so that the Copper Kitchen Café can prepare a special meal in advance.

NOTE: Students do not have access to a refrigerator on campus. If students bring their own lunch, please prepare, pack and insulate meals as needed.
