About the Fontainebleau Schools

The Fontainebleau Schools offer in intimate and unique summer program for both music students (string players, pianists and composers) and architecture students. The school is housed in the magnificent chateau and town of Fontainebleau, southeast of Paris, and has a rich tradition dating back to its conception in the 1920’s.

The music program is centered on individual study and chamber music. String players also play in the chamber orchestra, and pianists and composers study harmony, fugue and counterpoint.

The architecture, or fine arts, program brings together different artistic disciplines in order to explore new ways of seeing, thinking and making architecture.

Fontainebleau is an unusual place where music and architecture students study their own disciplines separately and intersect in surprising ways. Music and architecture students live and dine together and have lectures and field trips in common. Students are encouraged to observe one another’s work and they may collaborate on a project at the end of the session.

The international student body is taught in English by a predominantly French faculty of musicians, designers, artists, and professors. Founded in 1921, the school has a distinguished history with faculty and alumnae such as Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Maurice Ravel, Paolo Soleri, Charles Moore, William Turnbull, Camille Saint-Saens, Nadia Boulanger, and Igor Stravinsky.

The five-week program in architecture and four-week music conservatory provide opportunities for educational advancement with in-depth exposure to French music, design, and history, and set the stage for a rich cultural and artistic exchange.
