About

Art-History-School-logo

Art History School was created in response to the reduced availability of Art History within mainstream schooling. We believe high-quality Art History education should be accessible beyond traditional academic settings, including to home-educated, international and state-educated students.

​

Bringing together a variety of art historians, educators and cultural professionals, we provide academically rigorous teaching across different stages of study, from early Art History through A Level and university to independent and specialist learning.

​

Our aim is to keep the serious study of the visual arts accessible, while opening up different ways to learn, engage with and develop within the subject.
