BAC Summer Academy

Design exploration for high school students at the Boston Architectural College

 

Dear Community Leader / Educator,

 

Offered since 1973, BAC Summer Academy is a design exploration program for high school students entering grades 10 or higher. Your students will benefit from learning about the design field from design professionals and educators at the Boston Architectural College. Please pass this information on to your colleagues and students whom you think will be interested in this valuable career exploration program.

 

BAC Summer Academy emphasizes Basic Design Fundamentals, Visual Communication, Verbal Communication, and Professional Standards. Its curriculum is aligned to the MA Curriculum Frameworks for Arts and allows students to make connections with the world of design and other disciplines.

 

During BAC Summer Academy, students experience the field of design through creative hands-on projects, interactive learning, and educational field trips throughout Boston and to professional design firms. Challenged to think critically and communicate their design ideas to others, students contribute to discussions and begin to understand the impact of design around them. Through individual and collaborative projects, students experience the design process, assessing and revising design proposals. Upon completion of the program, students have new work to include in their portfolio for college application, and a stronger sense of whether to pursue a design career.

 

BAC Summer Academy 2009 will take place from July 6^th - 31^st (M-F, 9:00am - 12:30pm). Enrollment is first-come, first-served and tuition includes materials for the program. Multiple scholarships are available based on financial need as well as through the Houseman/Kirkham Fund established to promote diversity in the design professions. The scholarship deadline is Friday, May 1^st.

 

For program information and application details, please visit www.the-bac.edu/summer or contact us at 617.585.0101 / summer@the-bac.edu.
