Monitors

Instructors of classes with eight or more students choose a monitor to assist and oversee the class when the instructor is not present. Monitors are responsible for handling students' requests and acting as liaison between students, faculty, and the school office. Monitors pay a percentage of the tuition.

Work-Study

The Academy's work-study program offers qualified students an opportunity to work in the Museum or School, in exchange for tuition remission when there is available space in a class. Contact the school office at 212-996-1908 for further information.
