High School
PEF’s high school summer classes give students a chance to explore college and careers with industry professionals. Most classes last just a few weeks, and offer a deep dive into a particular topic. Each class description lists the specific dates of each class.
When registering for a high school class online, make sure to select Eliot Arts Magnet as your enrollment session. All of our high school classes take place at Eliot, except for Music Tech & Recording (hosted by the California College of Music).
