Leith School of Art operates a three-term year. 

At the end of the Autumn and Summer Terms (Term 1 and Term 3), the School holds exhibitions at which the work of all the Year-Long Courses and Short Courses is shown. At the summer exhibition student work is on sale with 20% of the proceeds donated to our Assisted Places Scheme. All students are warmly invited to attend the exhibitions with friends, families and the general public.
