At Paris American Academy, the "jury" is a central part of the educational experience. Rooted in France’s long-standing Beaux-Arts tradition, this format reflects the realities of the design world, making it one of the most valuable and formative aspects of studying design in Paris.

Rather than a traditional written exam, students present their projects to a panel of tutors and invited professionals who evaluate not only the final outcome but also the research, concept development, technical ex*****on, and the student’s ability to explain and defend their creative choices.
