All unvaccinated people are required to wear masks in CCAE buildings and classes. All vaccinated people are not required to wear masks - masks are optional and welcome. For offsite classes, please check the section description for variations to this policy.

Our staff is 100% vaccinated. For more information, view our in-person class safety guidelines. We encourage all able students to receive their COVID-19 vaccination to ensure the safety of other students, instructors, staff, and community members. Please continue to check back for further updates as these guidelines may change.

This fall we are offering a combination of online classes, outdoor classes, and in-person classes that will meet inside our historic buildings on Brattle Street at a limited-capacity.

We will continue to limit the capacity of classes in order to give students more space and personalized attention. We look forward to seeing many more of our students and instructors in-person again, and we will also continue to offer online classes in all departments. We hope you are continuing to stay healthy and safe. We look forward to learning with you both online and in-person this fall!
