School At ICP
Located in midtown Manhattan, the School at ICP is one of the world's most extensive and best-equipped schools of photography. ICP serves more than 5,000 students each year, offering 400 courses in a curriculum that ranges from darkroom classes to certificate and master's degree programs. Other educational programming includes a lecture series, seminars, symposia, workshops hosted by professional photographers, and complementary activities.
Opened in 2001, the School is a 27,000-square-foot (2,500 m2) facility at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, diagonally across the street from the ICP Museum. The facility features state-of-the-art classroom and black-and-white and color lab spaces; digital labs with resources for multimedia, digital photography, video editing and production; and a professional shooting studio. Designed by Gensler, a New York-based architectural firm, the School includes a library, a student lounge, and a student and community exhibition gallery. Among the building's architectural highlights is a striking glass pavilion entrance on the building's plaza.
ICP's educational initiatives are divided into three areas: the School, Public Programs, and Community Programs.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
