The Slade summer school short course programme provides a variety of courses for all levels of experience.
Through the various courses teachers will get the opportunity to:

• Develop an understanding of how the first principles are addressed, received and valued outside of a school environment.
• Establish a dialogue with university tutors and art students about how to best support their students in applying to study Fine Art at university.
• All students/teachers are also welcome to attend free evening events offered throughout the summer on the Slade Summer School Extra Curricular programme that includes artist talks and exhibition openings.
