Activities
Academy students enjoy extra privileges appropriate for their environment and maturity levels. While we maintain standard supervision ratios, teens will still feel a sense of freedom. After each day’s instruction, students may want to spend their evenings engaging in traditional activities that may include Ultimate Frisbee or soccer.
If sports aren’t your thing, sign up for an instructor workshop. Some topics may include stop-motion animation or music composition.
Students may be allowed to travel in groups within local boundaries with the understanding that these privileges may be enjoyed only if they remain responsible. Our supervising staff will always be in the nearby vicinity and visually check-in with teens periodically. Activities and excursions are supervised by iD Visual Arts Academy staff.
