Youth Opportunities
PreCollege is Ringling College’s flagship non-degree program, featuring a four-week residential experience for high school students. Participants select two immersive classes that reflect our college majors, along with courses in drawing and 2D/3D/4D fundamentals.
PCD is a one-week residential program focused on a single art and design studio offering. High school students have the opportunity to work with our professors and experience the unique environment of Ringling College.
Teen Studios provides high school students with the chance to participate in art and design classes during the Spring and Summer. These daytime classes are designed for commuter students to explore creative, hands-on projects on our main campus at Ringling College. Out-of-town families are encouraged to give their students this exceptional, creative opportunity while they explore the beautiful Sarasota area.
Practice and play at Ringling College’s state-of-the-art Esports Arena! Students, ages 12-18, will have in-game training, drills and game breakdown, experience the esports room, play with the coaches, have daily matches and challenges, and regular wellness breaks.
