    Frequently Asked Questions

    You can expect to spend about five hours per week on a course. Course weeks begin on Monday (except when Monday is a holiday) and end on Sunday. You can pace out your week in whatever way works best for you, but we recommend spending a bit of time each day on the course, much like you would practice an instrument. Typically, each week’s creative project is due by Sunday at noon Eastern time.

    As part of the course, you can participate in an optional weekly hour-long video class meeting, where you can learn from the instructor and interact with fellow students in real-time. At the beginning of the course, you will complete a survey indicating your preferred times for the class meeting. The instructor will make every effort to identify a meeting time that works for everyone. The instructor will also post recordings of the meetings and you can view them when it is convenient. You will interact regularly with your instructor throughout the course. Within the learning environment, you can share messages with your instructor and peers, and you will also receive personalized feedback on your work in this same way.

    We are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible learning environment for all students in our online programs. We believe that all students should have equal access to our learning materials and activities, and that an inclusive learning environment benefits everyone. Here are some of the accessibility features that we have incorporated into our online courses:

    • Our course platform is compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
    • We use captioning for all videos.
    • We use headings and other structural elements to help users navigate the course content more easily.
    • We use color contrast in combination with other design elements to ensure that course content is easy to read and understand.
    • We provide alternative text for images and graphics.
    • We use plain language and avoid jargon or overly technical language wherever possible.

    If you would like to request an accommodation for one of our courses, or would like to share any concerns or suggestions regarding accessibility, please contact online@interlochen.org so that we may assist you.

    Yes! Once you complete your private lesson registration, you will be given a link to a form to make your request to study with a specific instructor. If you do not have a specific instructor in mind, you will be assigned a private lesson instructor. All of our instructors are excellent and well-regarded. They teach with Interlochen Arts Academy, Interlochen Arts Camp, and/or institutions of higher education.
