Teens learn with us in our 10-week courses that include photographic and writing assignments, open lab time, visual presentations, discussions, critiques, guest artist visits, field trips, and a culminating presentation for family and friends celebrating the students’ achievements. 10-week classes are offered in our fall and spring semesters, either October-December or February-May. Students who do not have their own camera and would like to take a 10-week class can check out ICP equipment for the duration of the class. Equipment must be returned before the final class. 

From deep dives into photobook making to exploring the city with your camera, ICP offers a wide variety of summer intensives. These one and two-week classes are a fun way to explore photography and learn what does and doesn’t interest you in the medium. Summer programming at ICP begins in July and ends in August, and are one or two weeks in length and meet Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm each day. Lunch is not provided, and students are encouraged to pack a lunch that doesn’t need to be refrigerated or have funds to purchase lunch nearby.

On an ad hoc basis, youth programs offer weekend workshops and other alternative formats to engage young photographers and young people interested in photography. Check here for updates.

Notes on registration: 

  • All program registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • For each class, half of all class seats are for students paying full tuition and half for students receiving scholarships. Students paying full tuition have a guaranteed seat in the class and are not eligible for scholarships.

For first-time registrants: 

  • If you’re registering someone else for a class (e.g. a parent/family member registering a teen), you’ll need to create an account for yourself first and then create a separate account for your teen with the ICP registration system. Here is the link to create the accounts. You’ll only need to go through this step the first time you’re registering.
  • Once you have created an account for yourself and for the teen you’re enrolling, go back to the class you want to register someone for. Logged in as yourself, select the “enroll someone else” option to enroll your teen.
  • You and the teen you registered for will both receive an email after enrollment with a separate form to complete after enrolling in the class. Please fill this out as soon as possible after receipt so that we can prepare our faculty and equipment staff to make our classes as welcoming and prepared as possible.
  • Once initial enrollment is filled, students are placed on a waitlist. If a space in the class opens up, we will contact the first student on the waitlist regarding placement in the class. 

For scholarship applicants: 

  • A preview of what’s required for a typical scholarship application can be found in the sidebar.
  • For any given term or program with a fee, there will be a need-based scholarship form for scholarship enrollment. These are reviewed and space in class is confirmed on a rolling basis. If you applied but haven’t heard from us after a couple of weeks, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] and check your status with us.
  • Students paying full tuition have a guaranteed seat in the class and are not eligible for scholarships. Only complete the scholarship application if you are not able to afford full tuition at this time.
  • The current summer scholarship application is live here.
