What Students Are Saying

The work can be intense, that's for sure, but if you work really hard and don't procrastinate than you will be fine. Everything is pretty much hands on and takes a lot of time to work on an assignment, so it's not stuff you can really do overnight.
Elizabeth from Spanaway, WA
The professors expect students to do their most creative work here. The electives and humanities classes are interdisciplinary, and many are focused on fascinating topics. And, it's a good school if you hate math.
Teri from Kenmore, WA
For each major that a student has chosen there is a high expectation in the work that they produce during their time here. The teachers expect that you love the art more than food, so to speak, and will push you to master your field.
Nichole from Blaine, WA
This school is less about learning english and science (i'm not even sure if we have a science class or math class here) but we are very rigorous and learning our specific art technical aspects and concepts behind it. You can't slack off in this school. It's very intense and the teachers are personable and they know when you're work isn't meeting your own personal standard.
Makena from Seattle, WA
You cannot rush the design process. The only way I found to do well in my classes was to give every thing I had to it. The work load is a lot but it can be done.
Micaela from Vashon, WA
The classes put forth information at a steady pace which allows the student to grasp the knowledge on the topic.
Keenan from SEATTLE, WA
Because the school is arts based you don't have many academic classes but we are required to take a humanities and science class each year. You really get pushed in your HS classes especially if your a student looking to grow in writing or science. They really not messing around when it comes to assignments, there motto is simply to treat everyday like a job interview.
Cheyenne from Whittier, CA
i love my classes, they all have something different to teach you. don't be afraid to ask instructors specifically on things you are interested in as well. there is structure, but surprisingly, the structure is helpful for you to unleash your creative potential.
