These Workshops provide spots for 214 students and each represents 20 hours of instruction for the week. Workshops must fill to 50% capacity in order to run. All Workshops are free, open to the public, and offered on a first-come, first-served basis to students who have applications on file with SMARTS. Apply here: www.SmartsArtSchool.org/classes.

Students should be dropped off no earlier than 9:45 am, and students must be signed out at 3:00 pm. Each Workshop will run for one week, Monday – Friday @ 10:00 - 3:00 pm, which includes a lunch break and free time to connect with other students. Students who are more than 30 minutes late will not be permitted in their Workshop that day and must be picked up immediately. If your child is late see the Program Director, please do not just leave your child. Students must be picked up no later than 3:30 pm.
Bring Your Own Lunch & Drink
Students will need to bring their own labeled lunch and drink daily. Please do not pack for your child any food items containing peanuts, peanut butter, or tree nuts to accommodate students with severe allergies. Lunch occurs in 2 separate groups between 12:00-1:00pm.
Early SMARTS Eligibility & Attendance
Students ages 18 months to 5 years old who have not yet entered Kindergarten may take an Early SMARTS Workshop. All Early SMARTS students must be accompanied by an adult (parent, guardian, grandparent or approved adult). Workshop is limited to two members (SMARTS child and one accompanying adult) per household. Attendance both days of the Workshop is mandatory. Please do not enroll in a Workshop if you cannot attend both days.
Grades K-3 Workshops
The same Workshop is offered with two session times to accommodate families’ schedules. Please select either the 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. session or the 1:00–3:00 p.m. session. Students may register for only one session.
Grades 4-12 Workshops
One Workshop consists of two complementary sessions taught by different teachers. This pairing is designed to enhance the learning experience by adding depth and variety. Students are expected to attend both sessions and remain enrolled in their assigned session for the duration of the week. Any necessary schedule adjustments must be arranged directly between the family and the Program Director. Please contact DeAudra Edgerson with questions at 330-574-2787 Ext.2
Grade Level Eligibility
All students are considered the grade level they most recently completed in the 2025-2026 school year when enrolling in a SMARTS Summer Workshop. In order to qualify for Grade K Workshops, students must have already completed Kindergarten. Students not yet in Kindergarten can enroll in Early SMARTS Workshops. See the Early SMARTS information for those schedules.
Attendance
For Grades K-12, attendance is mandatory all five days of the Workshop. Workshop participants must have perfect attendance (100%) because of the immersive learning experience.
