The Prince's School of Traditional Arts

The Prince’s School has, for a number of years now, pioneered practical post-graduate degrees (at Masters and Doctoral level) in the traditional arts of the great civilizations of the world. The School emphasises the importance of integrating the theoretical study of the traditional arts with their practical application. One of the School’s main objectives is to encourage an awareness of the holistic nature of the traditional artist, whose inspiration derives from the highest sources and whose skill and dedication creates masterpieces which we can all recognise as part of our world heritage

The Academic Programme is taught at our building at 19-22 Charlotte Road, a converted nineteenth-century warehouse based in Shoreditch, London. 

The work of our students is supported by a comprehensive range of facilities including a large gallery, well-equipped workshops, a studio space for every student, teaching classrooms and a well-stocked library.

All of our facilities are fully wheelchair accessible.
