COVID 19 Special!

Dear West California Academy of Art and Design Parents,

During this pandemic our online teaching courses have begun and we have experienced a massive number of interest.
For clarity, in regards of tuition for online class during the epidemic, the Academy will charge at half price based on the original price instead of discount price when enrolled. Our Academy will not double discount. The online course tuition must be paid in a 12-class package at one time. For those who have already paid for regular classes, the online class tuition will be directly deducted from the payment left.
​
At this time, we would like to have students be in a group setting with instructor to experience real classroom virtual setting. We have required instructors to open classes with a minimum of two students per class, therefore, the instructors might need to temporarily adjust some students’ class schedule to fit in a group setting.  One on one online instruction can still be an option but, student will be charged full price based on the original tuition rate.

​We’d like to remind everyone that we are providing the same rigor and doing our best to accommodate our community with the same fun curriculum.


Thank you!

 Alumni Testimonials


I will never forget that afternoon when I received the email from RISD notifying me of my acceptance to the school. I could hardly believe what I read. That was the most beautiful moment and happiest time in my life! I feel lucky that I have made a right decision to choose West California Academy of art and Design to help prepare my portfolio, which obviously sets me apart from other candidates!
​

- Laurraine Guo
Laurraine Guo earned acceptance to the very prestigious (RISD) Rhode Island School of Design in 2016. She came to us very late in the portfolio building class, and asked if it was possible to create a portfolio within four months. Saying yes to the challenge, our school successfully helped her realize her dream.


I studied drawing and painting during high school about two years, but when I tried to apply for Art Center College of Design on my own, I did not get accepted. I realized I lacked figure drawing and needed more creative projects and a stronger portfolio. Thanks to Omar, he is very professional West California Academy of Art and Design teacher, and helped me find my own way in art, without his help, I would have needed much more time to get accepted.

​
- Yihang Ying
Yihang Ying was accepted to Art Center College of Design in Spring 2017. Before he chose our school for portfolio preparation he tried to apply for Art Center College of Design on his own but failed. After one year’s study at our portfolio preparation class, he successfully got accepted by his dream college.
