Jonathan Chu began his journey at WCAAD at age 5, experiencing various classes and competing in contests. His development and rapid acclimation in the arts has been due to the nurturing of instructors and community at WCAAD. His support from his family in the arts, commitment, and attendance have been key factors of achieving success. ​

“Like many parents, I planned for my children’s art education very early. My daughter and son began taking classes at West California Academy of Art and Design at a very young age.” Rebecca and Jonathan’s mother said.  “I’m sincerely thankful for all the teachers that helped them improve their artistic abilities. The instructors not only teach children drawing skills, but also put emphasis on protecting and inspiring children’s imagination and creativity, making the most of their potential.”

Rebecca and Jonathan’s mother said that the Academy had witnessed her children’s growth and development throughout the year. “Their development in the Academy has been crucial, in visualization and execution of form in their portfolio.”

“Jonathan relies on his sister as an example,” the mother said, “he earned acceptance to LACHSA too, aiming for Game Design track. Just like his sister, he is on the way of realizing his dream.  I’m happy that my children have achieved a lot academically, but what makes me much happier is that they have become children full of confidence.”
