MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Newton’s Grove School is proud to announce that alumna Clair, class of ‘25, has been selected by the College Board for extraordinary achievement and featured in the 2025 AP Art and Design Digital Exhibition, a highly competitive, global showcase of exceptional student artwork.

The 2025 AP Art and Design Digital Exhibition highlights only 51 high school artists from 27 North American states and five countries, selected from more than 82,000 portfolios submitted worldwide for the 2025 AP Art and Design Exam. Clair’s inclusion places her among an elite group of young artists whose work exemplifies originality, depth of inquiry, and technical excellence grounded in personal experience.

“This recognition is a remarkable achievement for Clair and a proud moment for our entire school community,” said Cheri Grogan, Head of School at Newton’s Grove School. “Her success reflects not only her talent and dedication, but also the strength of an educational environment that encourages curiosity, creative risk-taking, and intellectual rigor. We are thrilled to see our graduates making their mark on a global stage.”

Participation in AP Art and Design involves a year-long, inquiry-based process encompassing observation, research, experimentation, discussion, critical analysis, and reflection. Students submit comprehensive portfolios featuring completed artworks, detailed process documentation, and written reflections that demonstrate conceptual development and sustained investigation.

“The College Board is proud to present the 2025 AP Art and Design Exhibition, a celebration of student imagination, inquiry, and innovation,” said Kaitlyn Myles, Senior Visual Art and Communications Technology at Newton’s Grove School. “The works in this exhibition highlight how students use art and design to express ideas, deepen understanding, and connect with others across cultures and communities.”
