    Overview

    New York School of Interior Design’s (NYSID) Pre-College Program offers two different sessions, each ten days and 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. Find out more!

    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.

    New York School of Interior Design’s Pre-College program offers creative high school students the opportunity to experience life as an interior designer for residential (PC-1) and hospitality (PC-2) design. Taught by actual faculty members, this "hands on" experience teaches the basics of interior design. Available online & in-person. No prior drawing experience necessary. All students will be part of unique presentations and live Q&As with design industry leaders. Students in NYC have opportunity for industry-only showroom tours. Scholarships are available for up to $2,000 for on-site programs.

    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.
