About

Saturday School was established in 1922. Enrollment is divided into four groups: students in grades 1 through 4, students in grades 5 through 8, students in grades 9 through 12, and ages 18 and up. Scholarships are available for students in grades 1 through 12, and Indiana University affiliates and Indiana educators receive a 10% discount on all summer programming enrollments. Students in grades 4 or 8 who wish to test out of their current grade level and into a higher group may submit a portfolio for consideration. Saturday School is currently on pause as new staff members are welcomed, with plans to offer opportunities for artists of all ages from first grade through adulthood in 2026. A culminating student art show is held in Eskenazi Hall rooms HR 259 and HR 269 at the conclusion of Saturday School.
