The Stanford campus plan was designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed New York's Central Park. Stanford University represents the best that higher education has to offer - and has attracted the best and the brightest intellectual minds by offering an extensive selections of studies for over a century. Nestled in the ideal weather zone between the bay and the ocean, our Silicon Valley academy at beautiful Stanford University give students the opportunity to take in iD's challenging program while enjoying the culturally rich, collegiate atmosphere.
