Meet our Faculty

The faculty of The School of Design comes from around the world. Chosen from a community of distinguished artists and designers in North and South America, Europe, the Dominican Republic, and other Caribbean countries. Our professors are dedicated to academic excellence in the various fields of art and design.

While the language of instruction is Spanish, many faculty members speak English and can offer special attention to English-speaking students whose Spanish is not strong. However, The School asks new students who do not have a good command of Spanish to take an intensive Spanish course before enrolling.
