art school
An educational institution where artistic subjects such as painting, sculpture, or design are taught.
Nach dem Abitur bewarb sie sich an einer renommierten Kunstschule in Berlin.
After finishing secondary school, she applied to a renowned art school in Berlin.
The word is a simple compound of 'die Kunst' (art) and 'die Schule' (school). It therefore literally refers to a school where art is taught.
Er träumt davon, an einer Kunstschule Malerei zu studieren.
He dreams of studying painting at an art school.
The preposition 'an' is frequently used. You learn or work 'an der Kunstschule' (at the art school; dative, location), apply 'an einer Kunstschule' (to an art school; dative), or go 'an die Kunstschule' (to the art school; accusative, direction).
Sie unterrichtet seit zehn Jahren an der städtischen Kunstschule.
She has been teaching at the municipal art school for ten years.
Common verbs in connection with 'Kunstschule' (art school) are 'besuchen' (to attend), 'studieren' (to study), 'absolvieren' (to complete), and 'sich bewerben' (to apply).

art academy
'Kunstakademie' and 'Kunstschule' both refer to places where you learn art. The most important difference lies in the level and setting. A 'Kunstakademie' is usually a university or higher education institution where you study art. 'Kunstschule' is more general and can also be a private school, a set of courses, or an institution for children, teenagers, or adults. The words can be confused because painting, design, or other artistic subjects are taught in both places. If you are talking about a proper degree program, 'Kunstakademie' sounds more precise. For courses or general art instruction, 'Kunstschule' is often a better fit.
