WHAT: New York School of Interior Design’s Pre-College Program is a two-week course designed to immerse you in the creative and rewarding world of interior design. Classes are taught by professional interior designers — the same instructors who teach in NYSID’s degree programs. Open to high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors, this course will introduce you to interior design and help you explore career possibilities. You’ll get to attend lectures by design professionals, see demonstrations of architectural drawings and digital media, and get to create your own designs in studio classes. And, of course, NYSID is located in the heart of New York City, so you can take full advantage of everything the city has to offer. In addition to classes at NYSID, there will be field trips to interior design firms, museums, and notable sites throughout the city.
WHEN: July 11–21 (8 sessions) Monday – Thursday, 10am – 4pm
HOW MUCH: $1,030 This includes a Career Kit — all the supplies you’ll need including an architect’s triangular scale, drafting tape, a topaz triangle, drawing pencils, and more. Housing is available for an additional fee; offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The Pre-College Program was such an intense experience. We covered a lot of ground in two weeks! Not only was it a great introduction to the interior design field, it was a great introduction to the College. After it was over I decided this was the career AND the school for me!
