A school is an institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the direction of teachers. A fashion school teaches students subjects relevant to clothing, footwear, textiles, fashion design, and other fashion industry relevant topics.
In North America, the term school can refer to any educational institution at any level, and covers all of the following: preschool (for toddlers), kindergarten, elementary school, middle school (also called intermediate school or junior high school, depending on specific age groups and geographic region), high school (or in some cases senior high school), college, university, and graduate school. When we discuss fashion schools we are typically referring to colleges and universities. Fashion is taught in some high schools, but students that are serious about working in the apparel industry often attend fashion schools at the undergraduate or graduate level.
- Undergraduate education is the post-secondary education previous to the postgraduate education. It includes all the academic programs up to the level of a bachelor's degree. For example, in the United States, an entry level university student is known as an undergraduate, while students of higher degrees are known as graduates. In some other educational systems and subjects, undergraduate education is post-secondary education up to the level of a master's degree; this is the case for some science courses in Britain and some medicine courses in Europe.
Fashion schools teach courses about fashion design, fashion merchandising, fashion business management, textile design, fashion marketing, and more.
