SCAD Virtual Visit (Savannah College of Art and Design)

All interested students in Grades 11 and 12:

This Friday, November 6th, we are having a virtual college visit from SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), which has campuses in Hong Kong, the US and other places around the world.

Please attend this session to learn more about the 40 majors offered, the application process, portfolio submission and scholarship opportunities available.

NIS is very familiar with SCAD, as we have had quite a few graduates go on to study its programs.

It is important that you register in advance for the Zoom meeting using this link:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

I’ll also be running the Zoom in the LGR.
