Professional Development

Danforth Art School has been a wonderful resource in the past for teachers seeking professional development classes- both for pdp's and graduate credit. Now that Danforth has integrated with Framingham State University, we will no longer be able to offer classes for graduate credit.However, we do plan to continue offering high quality professional development opportunities for educators to earn professional development points to advance their careers. School staff will be working over the next months to create a program of exciting offerings designed to inspire and advance innovations in the classroom. At this time, we do not have dates available for professional development classes. Please be sure to sign up for our mailing list to be notified when this program opens again.

Class Supplies for Adults and Children

To ease confusion for beginning artists, all materials will be provided for the first class of all adult beginner-level classes and these students will be given guidance during their first class on which supplies to purchase for the remainder of the session.
Adult students in intermediate- or advanced-level classes, or any class without the notation above, are expected to bring supplies to their first class. Please click on "supply list" next to the class to see a recommended list.
All supplies are included for children's classes.

Students wishing to cancel a registration must contact the school. Refunds will be given as follows: if the cancellation occurs after the first class, we will refund 80% of tuition cost; after the second class we will refund 60% of the tuition cost; after the third class, there is no refund. Exceptions to this policy can be made only in the event of an emergency. Class tuition is not prorated due to student absences.

Important Information for Parents/Guardians

Clothing

Art-making can be messy! Please dress your child accordingly. Students may bring their own aprons or smocks to wear over their clothing.

Drop-off and Pick-up Procedure

Danforth Art requires guardians to accompany children under age 14 to and from the studios on the third floor.

Please notify the School Office if the parent/guardian is going to be late or if your child will be absent from class. Danforth Art will only release a minor child Student to authorized adults listed on the Consent Form and with photographic identification. If the person picking up the minor child Student is NOT listed on this form, the parent/guardian must inform Danforth Art School in writing beforehand.
