Attendance

While the School stresses the freedom and individuality of each student, full-time participation is mandatory. This consists of attending morning and afternoon sessions, Monday through Friday, for a total of 40 studio and class hours per week. Talks and lectures are an integral part of the program and students are required to attend. Half-day visits to museums and galleries are encouraged and are not considered absences. Frequent absences may be cause for a student being asked to leave the School.
