We take a no-nonsense approach to the professional development of student portfolios. Here at SAFA, we are not only interested in creating first rate portfolios for college acceptance and scholarships, but also in creating well prepared young artists who will be at the top of their college classes. Parents can feel comfortable knowing that all of our instructors are professionals in their respective fields of art, which enable them to provide each student with more of a "real world" skills training. Take a look at our instructor bio's. Unlike other Long Island Portfolio Development programs, we don't have teachers assistants or interns teaching our classes.

Student Scholarship Highlight
Portfolio Student Sean Purchase, received over $30,000 in scholarships last year. He is now attending Boston University. This is what his mother had to say: " My son was able apply to a higher caliber college due to his portfolio. Interviewers were blown over with the quality of his portfolio. They said they've never seen a portfolio like it come from long island. He was accepted on the spot and received a half scholarship. I can't be more pleased."
