School Notes

  • The Oxbow School is a semester program in Napa, California focusing on studio artmaking and interdisciplinary humanities.
  • This program provides sophomores, juniors, seniors, and gap-year students the opportunity for an intensive art experience and thought-provoking academic instruction. The atmosphere at Oxbow is one of artistic and social exploration combined with rigorous academics designed to prepare students for college and beyond. Oxbow alumni often go on to earn distinguished art and writing awards, and earn offers of admission and win scholarships at top colleges and universities.
  • We invite students to enlarge their artistic vision and enhance their technical skills in an environment dedicated to supporting artistic inquiry.
  • Take this opportunity to further your education, expand your social horizons, explore your passion for art, and create a new foundation for your future! Oxbow also offers a spirited and engaging 6-week for rising juniors, seniors, and gap year students.
  • The Oxbow curriculum is designed to matchthe requirements of the nation`s best public and private high schools and is as committed to academics as it is to art making. All of the courses at Oxbow are accredited, honors level, and college preparatory.The Oxbow School is a private, independent and not for profit organization.The Oxbow Schoolis located in Napa, California,forty-five minutes from San Francisco, one hour from the Pacific coast, and within a few hours of exceptional state and national parks.Students enjoy an inspirational campus settingwhile still having access to all the amenities of downtown Napa, which is just a short stroll from campus. At Oxbow, studio art practice is not about waiting for inspiration; we believe that artists design problems and then solve them, opening up new ideas and possibilities while responding to materials that re-shape the originating question. Students leave Oxbow with a set of skills that can be reconfigured to meet the challenges of ever-changing goals and environments.
