Special thanks to HS4CC moderator for sending this info to me! SAIC (ridiculously selective #2 ranked art school in the USA) is now offering limited dual enrollment for high school students. Currently, the majority of courses meet in person on Saturdays for local students, but there are 2 online options for this year that meet LIVE.
Drawing & Painting Online for High Schoolers – online
Focus on drawing and painting as exciting tools for organizing thoughts, experiences, and images. Develop and strengthen fundamental skills as you work with line, volume, space, form, and palette and investigate a range of traditional and contemporary materials that may include charcoal, graphite, ink, and water-based paints (acrylic, watercolor, water-soluble oils, etc.). Virtual visits to the Art Institute of Chicago and discussion of practicing artists supplement the studio experience. This course is recommended for both beginners and those wanting to improve and develop their current skills and ideas.

Portfolio Prep for High Schoolers – online
In this hands-on studio course, students will not only develop new works of art to round out their portfolios for upcoming college applications but they will also select, revise, and edit their existing works. Through dynamic workshops and one-on-one meetings with SAIC faculty and admissions staff, students will discover the most effective way to document and organize their work and represent their unique points-of-views as artists to the colleges of their choice. This course also places emphasis on studio time and support from faculty to create final projects that will enhance students’ overall portfolio presentations. Additional resources such as artist presentations, and virtual visits to the Art Institute of Chicago and other cultural institutions supplement the course curriculum.
