BC School of Art Therapy is a private educational institution accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia. The school is also a registered charity and non-profit society. The focus is on quality art therapy graduate level training with theory and practical instruction in a clinical setting.

These programs are also offered as weekend intensive courses, stretching to three or four years for employed students and are identical to the master’s degree courses with theory, practice and a thesis for diploma students.
