One of our students who applied early to the world-renowned Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in the U.S. has been accepted! This student received scholarship offers from all the universities she applied to, including famous ones like Parsons, but ultimately decided on RISD. We sincerely congratulate Jang on being accepted to such a prestigious school!
Now, let's take a closer look at this dream school for students wishing to pursue art. It’s clear that the thorough preparation starting from grade 9 — from portfolio work to school grades — made this possible.
It reminds us once again that time and effort never lie. The way students prepare for their secondary education can make a significant difference in the results.
