David M. Schwarz Architects is actively involved in helping teach the next generation of architects and planners, at all levels of their education. We are supportive of early childhood education and college preparatory programs in the building arts, including our involvement with the Collegiate School in New York and the Phelps School in Washington, DC. In higher education, we are engaged with many universities and schools of architecture through frequent lectures, symposia and participation on student design juries at Yale University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Maryland, Andrews University, the University of Texas at Austin, Clemson University, Case Western Reserve University, the Catholic University of America, and the University of Miami among others.

During the Fall 2008 semester, David Schwarz served as the Davenport Visiting Professor at the Yale School of Architecture. The "Teaching in Las Vegas" design studio focused on an urban revitalization and civic building project on the Las Vegas Strip. And in 2000, we inaugurated the David M. Schwarz Architects Internship & Traveling Fellowship Awards an annual awards program offering summer internships and stipends for travel and independent research.
