    Architectural Design

    The Keller ISD Architecture program is designed to provide students advanced knowledge and skills specific to those needed to enter a career in architecture and construction or prepare a foundation toward a postsecondary degree in architecture, construction science, drafting, interior design, and landscape architecture. This pathway includes advanced knowledge of the design, design history, techniques, and tools related to the production of drawings, renderings, and scaled models for commercial or residential architectural purposes. Students participating in a Practicum in Architectural Design will gain industry related experience through real-world instruction on work ethics, safety and career-specific technical instruction.
