AD The Design School
AD The Design School has been set up under the umbrella of the AD Education Foundation, founded in year 2005. The design school has been initiated with the purpose of imparting professional level training to students aiming to pursue design and art related courses.

Who We Are
A core team of industry professionals and educationists ensures excellence in education and industry training. The Design School offers a multitude of design and art related courses, all of which have been formulated to suit industry requirements.

The Design School believes in training the students by applying the methodology of learning by doing. Utmost importance is given to the practical approach to education, as we believe that professional courses can only convert a student into a thorough professional if he/she understands the methodology from the idea to the end product, as well as various processes involved.

We also believe in ensuring industry readiness and providing the right kind of placement opportunities to our students to facilitate their professional and creative development.

AD The Design School has collaborated with the industry with the objective of facilitating the creation of a network of employers who shall have ready access to industry-ready professionals.

The content for the courses is crafted keeping in mind industry requirements and has been reviewed by expert committees comprising industry professionals and education experts. The practical aspect of training is not constrained merely to studio based learning, and students are assigned live projects during the training period. This is made possible by the industry network which is also involved in the placement process at the completion of the program.

The major disciplines of training are Design and Fine art, with prearranged super specializations:

Design: interior design, product design, furniture design

Fine art: painting, sculpture, visual communication

Students are provided training in all possible mediums to ensure that the representation of ideas and concepts in any form is possible. The method of teaching emphasizes on the creativity and originality of the students, and traditional methods are not conformed to, in order to facilitate the creative development of the student.

Mission n Vision
"Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future." - ROBERT L. PETERS

It is the primary objective of the Design School to develop our students into professionals, while maintaining a social and cultural balance to aid the imparting of a value based education. The design school adopts a pragmatic approach in conducting the design and fine arts programs to inculcate professionalism through a systematic process. The structure of the institute stands on the strong foundation laid by the industry professionals and educationists, who ensure quality education to fulfill the vision and achieve the mission.

Message from Management
Globalization has altered the scenario to allow more interaction with the global MARKET, and the transition of time is evidence to indicate the progress over the last couple of decades. Today, design is considered to be a high end profession which is associated not only with high remuneration, but also provides global recognition and fame. However, the profession in itself is extremely niche, because it demands a lot more than just hard work and pure commitment onwards the profession. Design cannot be objectively judged as right or wrong, but the appreciation of the end product leads to the final outcome of the whole process as being defined as a "GOOD DESIGN or a BAD DESIGN"

India is currently considered a developing nation and the potential of professional aids is being widely recognized. However, these are acquired at a cost, so it is very important for a training academy to ensure that the student is equipped with the necessary tools, not only academically, but also in terms of the correct exposure to widen one’s horizons and to develop an intellectual and competitive outlook. . Since the inception of this institute, I believe that the academic department has been provided with the freedom to ensure that the programs under the Design School benefit the students so as to transform them into thorough professionals.

Infrastructure
A space plays a very essential role in creating an environment for the purpose of which the area is developed, following the same AD The Design School has emphasized on creating an congenial atmosphere for its students & faculty to provide learning with all modern amenities along with the use of various materials to make the facility work functionally and look smart.

The institute is well equipped with air-conditioned studios & labs, Audio Visual facility for all studios, computer labs with latest system configurations, exclusive workshop for clay/wood/paper etc., library with subscription of latest books & magazines, proposed cafeteria & Massive display galleries.
