SCAD Rising Star

SCAD Atlanta, GA and SCAD Savannah, GA · $1,258/week

Pre-college program for rising high school seniors to earn college credit in art and design.

▌ Editor's read The SCAD Rising Star program website loads successfully, detailing a pre-college, overnight experience for high school students interested in art and design. Students can earn college credit and live in university housing, experiencing life at the Savannah College of Art and Design's Atlanta or Savannah campuses. The program is owned and operated by SCAD, a university. While specific staff-to-camper ratios or background check policies are not explicitly stated on the program's page, the university's general policies would likely apply. Google reviews for SCAD generally show a high rating (e.g., SCAD Savannah has 4.5 stars from over 2,000 reviews), with themes often praising the quality of education and facilities, though these are for the university as a whole, not specifically the Rising Star program. The program is not listed as ACA accredited. Social media handles for SCAD are @scaddotedu on Instagram and scaddotedu on Facebook.

Who thrives here Ages 15–18

SCAD Rising Star serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in arts, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
