Derived from German word dasein (‘da : za-in) which means ‘existence’ or one’s ‘presence’ –? the word has inspired many famous philosophers, artists, poets, and creative thinkers to discover and re-define the importance of their individual existence.

With that ideal in mind, Dasein Academy of Art was established in 1996 by a team of avid educators and professionals from the industry who aspired to revive the role of creative education from identical qualifications back to the cultivation of individual distinction.

After all, it is through the path of creative thinking and aesthetic learning that one discovers the beauty of one’s existence; and that, is a fulfillment of a lifetime.

The college takes pride in creative transformation via Edu-Mentoring? – essentially a people-centered approach when it comes to guiding and mentoring students on individual development and growth.

Dasein Academy of Art is a boutique art college run by artists for future artists. All our staff are experts in their academic or administrative roles. We deliver specifically tailored courses to small groups of dedicated students, and we focus on unearthing each student’s creative and personal development in preparing them for a multifaceted career.

達爾尚 “Dasein” 這詞衍自德國哲學，其含義不斷激發許多哲學家、藝術家、作家以及創意思想家去發掘真我，并重新注釋自己的存在與價值。

一群熱心的教育者和藝術與設計領域的專業人士抱著這份理念，于 1996 年攜手創辦達爾尚藝術學院。學院的宗旨是要復興美學教育，建立真率的教務團隊，將刻板的倒模式教育注入因“才”施教的創意課程。他們認為杰出的專才必須手腦并用，從思想與品德到知識與技巧，都需具備專業水平，才能滿足市場與工作需求之余，還能發揮自身的潛能，為社會作出貢獻。美學教育更是能讓人通過創意思考來發掘個人真善美的一個終身學習。

達爾尚因“才”施教而獨創一套教學指南為實踐與指導，提供更人性化的教學方針與一對一的指導，讓學生發掘本身所隱藏的價值。

達爾尚藝術學院在運作上像是經營一所精品學府，一直是透過精明教育制度和不喧嘩的宗旨，致力把藝術教育從刻板的規范，打造成對個人創意天分的栽培。我們提供轉為學生定制的課程，致力于發掘每個學生的創造力和個人發展，與其他大企業的教育學府有所差異。這些年來，達爾尚藝術學院已經成為一個高素質的藝術教育樞紐，為學生接下來多元化的職業生涯做準備，培訓了許多在國內外創意領域表現出眾的畢業生。
