The International School for the Creative Arts (ISCA) was founded in 2009 in partnership with the University of the Arts London (UAL). The school offers excellent preparation for university study in art and design. The school is located in the beautiful county of Buckinghamshire, 30 minutes from Heathrow Airport and central London.
The school is taught by renowned fashion and design professionals, including Professor Jimmy Choo (shoe designer and founder of his own brand Jimmy Choo) and Zandra Rhodes (British fashion designer). Students have the opportunity to benefit from the experience of artists and designers, thereby gaining a real understanding of how the industry works.
The Summer School is an intensive two-week programme of study in fashion, art and design. It introduces young aspiring creators to art and allows them to build a portfolio of work for entry into art schools. This is achieved through specialist workshops that enable pupils to develop their art and design skills across a range of disciplines including fashion, drawing, fine art, photography, typography and 3D design.
Key Factors
- ISCA has a reputation for being highly successful in preparing pupils for entry into leading art and design universities around the world.
- The school's philosophy is to nurture the creativity of each pupil and to offer an arts education that sharpens talent, enhances intelligence and builds confidence.
- Pupils are expected to be able to speak English and be able to participate in group discussions. A minimum English level of IELTS 4.5 is recommended.
- A team of dedicated and creative teachers, combined with small class sizes, create a unique environment for pupils to achieve their goals.
Facilities
The school is set in over 20 acres of beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside. Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a new sports hall, tennis courts and football pitches. Teaching takes place in a newly refurbished building. There are specialist art studios, which are also available outside of class time for pupils to complete homework or personal projects. The school has a 3D printer, laser cutter, printing press and a well-equipped photo lab.
Program
The art and design program includes the following topics:
- Developing a portfolio for admission to creative universities
- Drawing and fashion illustration
- Creating collages and its influence on creativity and a future design project
- Implementation and presentation of 2D and 3D design
- Product development
- Lectures by professional artists and designers
The summer school ends with a final exhibition of works reflecting the experimental and thoughtful creative approach of the children to art.
Accommodation and it
Residential accommodation is in a single room. Each room has a bathroom and toilet, a desk and plenty of storage space. Accommodation includes weekly cleaning and linen change. There is a laundry room and kitchen on each floor. Meals are served three times a day.
Leisure Activities
Evening and weekend activities include bowling, tennis, jewellery making and barbecues.
Excursions
In addition to academic work, the school organises excursions to museums and art galleries to help pupils develop their creative eye and be inspired by the best work. Examples include the Tate Modern, the Victoria and Albert Museum and Covent Garden. There are excursions to the main London attractions, a visit to the beautiful university town of Oxford and the historic town of Windsor.
The school organizes interesting excursions to the top art universities in the UK. For example, to Central Saint Martins College - one of the oldest English-language universities in design. Such a trip (in addition to the fact that it is a very inspiring experience) will help students better understand the features of university education in the creative specialty.
