Boarding
For the Fullest Cranbrook Experience
Students in the residential program enjoy an extended studio art experience as well as evening events and programs. Benefits include:
Extended studio time. Residents have the option to return to the studios each evening for extra time to work on class or independent projects.
Fun Activities. Students can take advantage of the many programs and facilities on campus, including hikes through the natural wonders of the 330 acre campus, use of the swimming pool, tennis courts, sports fields and a gym, movie nights in the Academy’s screening room, and evening programming at the Cranbrook Institute of Science’s planetarium.
Field trips. Activities will vary, but they may include a trip to a Detroit Tigers baseball game, visits to the Detroit Zoo, The Detroit Institute of Art and The Henry Ford museums, and evenings out for the various cultural and entertaining events in and around suburban Detroit.
Meals. Meals are served on campus at the Cranbrook School’s dining hall and Science Institute’s Reflections Café. On occasion, meals are ordered from local restaurants or barbeques are organized on the campus grounds. Options for various dietary needs are always provided.
Friendships from all over. Last year the Summer Art Institute enrolled students from seventeen different states and seven countries as well as from throughout the Detroit metro-region.
