Pre-College Programs
Tyler School of Art and Architecture’s Pre-College Programs educate and inspire creatively-driven students entering grades 10–12 to be active in achieving their highest artistic and academic goals. Tyler Pre-College offers a profoundly transformative experience, and prepares young artists to express, discover, and innovate within a large, urban, public research university where students and faculty engage with the world's most pressing and complex issues.
Held in state-of the-art facilities, Tyler Pre-College classes are taught by makers and thinkers from many practices, cultures, identities, and backgrounds. Our dedicated faculty teach students to lead confidently and navigate challenges as young artists through an immersive studio experience in art, design, architecture and the built environment.
Beginning and advanced student artists will find classes that allow them to explore new media, progress technical skills, and create work suitable for their college admissions portfolio. On-campus housing is available for all of our programs introducing students to Temple’s campus and Philadelphia’s cultural highlights. Visit our website to learn more about on-campus housing options, financial aid, and how to apply.
