Students come to Interior Designers Institute from all areas. Some from neighboring communities, some from other states and countries. Attracted by the natural surrounding beauty and ever-pleasant climate of Southern California, they discover a world of art and sophistication in which “design” is more than just a word – it is a lifestyle. Many of our design students are recent high school graduates, while others transfer from colleges and universities. Others are in transition, either beginning careers for the first time or retraining after experience in other fields. They are all ages, from many walks of life, as varied and individual as life itself. But they stand together at the same threshold – the entrance to a new world of skill and knowledge in interior design. It is this diversity that allows the student to develop his or her uniqueness and style. At the Institute, students retain their own identities. It is that which is nurtured, and makes an Institute student special. Whatever their backgrounds, their desire is the same…to learn the professional expertise needed to create beautiful interior environments.
