Do you dream about unleashing your inner artist and wish there was a community where you could figure out who you are and who you are meant to be? In the Semester Exchange Program, students experience the power of artistic immersion by shaping their journey into a force for positive change and community engagement.
This dynamic, personalized offering allows students to further their academic and artistic skills for a single semester on Idyllwild Arts Academy’s beautiful mountaintop campus in Southern California. Designed for both International and Domestic 10th, 11th, 12th, and Postgraduate students, the Semester Exchange Program offers an individually customized curriculum and goals in partnership with each student and their home school.
