Frequently Asked Questions
1
Why does Sally Studio Art Center require interviews for incoming students?
At Sally Studio Art Center, we take very seriously our commitment to our students. For that reason, we believe it essential to take time to get to know each of our prospective students, to evaluate the correct level of study and to explore the expectations of the student and their family. It is just as important for the student and family to spend time getting to know us. Over the years we have found that the interview process is an important first step in establishing the relationship between our staff and our students. Interviews are not necessary for those registering for our summer sessions.

How will I be notified if classes are canceled due to weather or other issues?
Sally Studio Art Center generally follows the lead of the Jericho and Syosset school districts. If the districts are closed due to a snow emergency or other event, we will also close. We urge all of our families to join our WeChat group and to keep up with our emails to get current information.

How long are the classes?
Our class lengths vary depending on class level and other factors, but most classes are either one and a half hours, or two hours long.
5
Do your students ever take field trips?
Although we do not take field trips per se, we do try to have at least one class each spring outdoors. Known as plein aire painting, these classes are limited to our older students.

How will I keep track of my student’s progress?
