Kingston School of Art (KSA) is an art school in Kingston upon Thames, part of Kingston University London.

The school teaches a variety of art- and design-related subjects, including fashion, graphic and product design, illustration and animation, film and photography, architecture, performing and visual arts. [2]

It was first established in 1899 as the Kingston School of Science and Art. In 1930 it was established as a separate school and has been based on its own art school campus since 1939.[2] It was disestablished in 1970 by becoming part of Kingston Polytechnic, but a re-brand in 2017 introduced the name again.[2] It is the oldest constituent part of Kingston University, which was established in 1992.[2][3] The School of Art plays an important role in the cultural and social development of Kingston-upon-Thames.[4]
