Exceptional classroom engagement is a hallmark of an Avila education. All Art + Design faculty are creative professionals with experience as educators, designers, and studio artists. A low faculty-to-student ratio (average class size of 12) means that students receive individualized instruction and have a one-on-one relationship with the faculty.
