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 and designers 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 through an immersive studio experience in art, design, architecture and the built environment.  

Beginning and advanced students will find classes that allow them to explore new media, advance 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.

Set your sights on summer! Come to Tyler for the college experience and leave with life-long friendships!
