Comparing Schools There are several ways to accomplish your design education. Things to consider while checking options for training are: - Instructors: Jan Springer, Janis Howard and Susan Salinas are registered instructors with the Board of Education and have the design knowledge and experience to train prospective students. Jan is a member of (IDS) Interior Design Society. Jan works closely with the business community to assist in providing jobs for her graduates. The instructors work with area high schools "Job Shadow" programs for Students interested in careers in Interior Design. Heritage School does not teach unrelated curriculum. The curriculum is centered on interior design, product knowledge, sales and marketing and business skills.
