Founded in 1931, Ringling College of Art and Design is a private four-year accredited college in Sarasota, Fla.

Sheldon’s Art Academy had seven students gain admission with scholarships to Ringling College starting in fall 2018. Sheldon’s also offers a college prep/portfolio program for students— some start as young as sixth grade—to prepare them for art school and lead to possible careers in animation, architecture, medical illustration, fashion, game design and other art applications.
