For being the only private art school in the central Ohio area, and one of the most affordable schools in the area. Students interested in and who have an appreciation in art will find the academic fields as broad and being able to maintain a general understanding of a variety of mediums and studies.

My school is best known for its heavy workload and small classes. Most of the teachers at my school graduated from the school, went to get their masters, and came back to teach. Most class sizes are very small and personable. The teachers are very involved in the students in and out of class. The work load is intense but that's what makes students better when they get out in the real world. With good time management, the work load isn't as time consuming.

Heather

My school is best known for producing some of the best contemporary artists in the country. We're third in the nation in the Illustration department. We're also known for having an almost impossible amount of work our freshman year, so much that about half of new students drop out before their second year. We may have more work than other schools, but it is only because they give us a realistic work load that most artists have to deal with in the real world. The people that do well in this school are the best of the best.
