What is the Pre-College Saturday School?
The Pre-College Saturday School at the University of the Arts offers college-level courses designed specifically for high school students in grades 9 through 12. Courses are offered in crafts, design, fine arts, media, performing arts and writing. The goal of the Pre-College Saturday School is to foster investigation and exploration into the principles of creativity while focusing on the personal development of the individual student. The Saturday School was founded in 1900 by Miss Isabella Bradley, a graduate of the class of 1900 of the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art (a precursor to the University of the Arts). The Pre-College Saturday School is committed to providing students with an enriching experience, whether developing a portfolio, writing sample, short video or multimedia piece for college admission, or exploring interests in an arts discipline.
