From our earliest program offerings in Interior Design, the Academy has grown to become the pre-eminent private design school in Victoria.

Our downtown location is easily accessible by public transit, bicycle or by foot. Victoria is only a short ferry ride from Vancouver and Seattle making this area a preferred destination for students.
