Frequently Asked Questions

List of 14 frequently asked questions.

• How do I apply?

  Applications are open now and are reviewed on a rolling basis. You will receive a decision 3-4 business days after submission. Once accepted, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and is not confirmed until you have completed the registration process and submitted payment in full.
  
  Spaces are limited. Registration for all programs will close on Friday, May 19. 

• Is there a minimum number of students required for a workshop or program to run? 

  Yes, each workshop/program requires a minimum number of students to run. If your daughter enrolls in a workshop that does not meet the minimum enrollment to run, we will contact you to suggest an alternative. If you do not wish to enroll in the alternate class, you will have the option to withdraw, and your tuition for that week will be refunded.

  Archer Summer’s workshops aim to enrich and inspire each student’s curiosity and passion for knowledge. Workshops provide hands-on opportunities for students to create and pursue academic and artistic enrichment under the mentorship of expert faculty.
