BUILDING A CULTURE OF COLLEGE & SUCCESS!
CREATIVE PATHWAYS
Venice Arts offers both college and creative career pathways programs that encourage young people to aspire high, and that support them to achieve success.
College Pathways
We offer a unique and enriched college preparatory environment, readying youth—many the first in their families—for college acceptance. Opportunities include:
Scholarships for advanced arts learning at CSSSA, Otis, Idyllwild Arts, and more.
Support for awards, film festivals, and other competitions.
Fall College Day Designed with our partners at Loyola Marymount University’s School of Education, students develop an individualized action plan; meet with admissions officers; identify the type of college that might be best for them; learn about free test prep; and receive support for FAFSA, financial aid, and scholarships.
Spring College Day Juniors get a head-start on planning for the senior-year application process.
College Counseling 1:1 counseling and family support.
