About Us

The School of Stereotomy

 

The Professional School of Practical Stereotomy is a unique small private school where students gain hands-on experience in practical stereotomy, an ancient method used in designing and constructing structures like cathedrals and castles. This method, known as L'Art du Trait, involves working drawings and has been utilized for centuries. As students learn and apply these techniques, they gain new skills and transform their way of thinking, enabling them to take on complex projects with confidence. Ultimately, they develop a different perspective, allowing them to see and accomplish things they once thought were intimidating or too challenging.

Course Options

Explore our extensive selection of courses, designed to suit your  learning preferences, whether you prefer in-person classes or the  flexibility of online learning. With our comprehensive curriculum,  students have the opportunity to earn up to a master's  certificate.
