The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture is a continuation of the educational endeavor founded by Frank Lloyd Wright and Olgivanna Wright in 1932. Originally called the Taliesin Fellowship, the School was renamed in 1960. Wright created the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in 1940, endowing it with all of his personal property: Taliesin and Taliesin West, artworks, architectural drawings, and the proceeds of his architectural practice. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation was granted 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization status by the IRS in 1983. The Foundation carries out its educational mission via its archives, public access, licensing, and School programs.

The Board of Governors of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture serves as the direct link to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Board of Trustees. The Dean of the School serves as the Chief Academic Officer and oversees all school staff and faculty.
