Princeton Academy of Art

Our sister school, Princeton academy of art (PAA)

At PAA, the curriculum honors the rich legacy of the classical period, drawing upon the esteemed Russian academic tradition, as well as the influential curricula of the Italian and French Academies. This melding of time-honored approaches instills in students a strong grasp of technique and structure while simultaneously nurturing creativity as they advance through the program. PAA programs follow a traditional academic year schedule, with classes running from August to June. PAA’s skilled instructors dispel ambiguity, providing students with tangible tools to ensure their artistic success.

A thorough technical education, enriched by a deep understanding of art history, mythology, and theory, lays the groundwork for students to become accomplished contemporary artists.

PAA offers programs that support artists at the outset of their journeys and professionals seeking to refine their craft. Our diverse community includes classical artists, tattoo artists, psychologists, biochemists, architects, and recent high school graduates, among others. Bound together by their studies at the Academy, they discover new perspectives on art and the world around them.
