    Renaissance Arts Academy - It is very good

    Wonderful, caring and thoughtful teachers in the Primary room. My kid looks forward to class!read more

    Our experience at Renaissance Arts has been really good. This school is different, and personally,…read moreI am thankful. My son told me, "There are no bullies at Ren Arts". I can see why. The staff is strict and they somehow manage to do what our previous school was not able to do - keep the kids feeling safe. When my kids started, I sat in on many of the classes to help one of my kids adjust. Almost every day for a year I went to the first 2 classes. In a large 8am singing class meant (I imagine) to gather the kids together and provide structure while stragglers arrived, I watched the teacher nip every potential behavior problem in the bud with, "I hear someone talking. If someone is talking while X is asking a question, then we can't hear X's important question". Or, "If you aren't participating then we are missing your voice. We need your voice". Everything here is based on the idea of an ensemble. And the importance of the individual within the ensemble is stressed. The ensemble performances that they do twice a year are truly amazing. Imagine being thrown in with different groups of students in your school twice a year to perform. Part of the reason there is no bullying is that you bond with your fellow cast members. There are some overarching mission statements that you see over and over again that are unique and heartwarming. For example, although there are no tests, they have a lot of essays to write where the kids have the opportunity to express themselves. They are told that there is not right or wrong answer and they just want to hear their ideas. They are often asked to reflect on themes and the teachers don't feel like they have "the answer", but rather are excited to hear what the kids come up with. It feels like college level teaching. To me, this is exciting stuff! I sat in on a second grade humanities class and felt like I was in college: a group of 8 kids plus a teacher sat around the table and discussed King Lear. The kids had so much to say about the age-appropriate rendition of what they were reading. The school also has a social justice bent and the themes of their shows often reflects current events. One of the high school students told me that they read the constitution every year in high school and every time she finds something new. So yes, there is much here that is going to look different from your typical school. It functions differently and so the form will be inherently different. I feel that as long as the child is happy, that is the best gauge of the fit of the school. And my kids are happy here.

The area is new to me and I very much enjoyed some of the shops.I am a guy who at one time only had experience eating in South Central Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, Long Beach and the Hub Cities. I do love these cities and I am happy to experience new unfamiliar places like Atwater Village and Silver Lake. Molly was there to kindly greet everyone, guide the children to complete task and behave, teach craft and chat with the adults. I enjoyed being in her class and I enjoyed seeing my little nephew complete his project. You can tell Molly has experience and education working with young children. On the walls we saw paintings and various drawings made by children. We did an Autumn seasonal craft project with paper, wooden wreaths, glue and various other decorative items. They have no-meter warning on Sunday, all other days there is a 2 hour maximum at a meter which can be paid by quarters or credit card, I do not think they accept EBT. Plenty of parking that day and other parking available if you are willing to walk. There is a garden area out back with rocks and a bench and the sun and air flowing in. I enjoyed the experience very much so as did many of the people I met there. I think the price range is fairly reasonable for the uptown people of this affluent area though maybe not for this downtown kind of guy. I do plan to come back in this area and I would highly recommend this place to any Hipster parents who want to keep children entertained for a while and want to help develop their children's vital skills.

    I love this school and how it has taught my children to be part of a community. They have been…read moreengaged in learning, both socially and academically. The arts specialists and teachers have integrated the arts into the curriculum which spurs creative thinking, imagination and new ideas from all of the children. My son is now in a public Middle School and doing so well, despite the jump in the amount of students and the different teaching approaches. LFCSA did him well. The teachers, staff and administration are incredibly hard working and wonderful at their jobs. And I think the front desk does an amazing job of guiding parents without over-engaging and getting distracted from their jobs helping run the school. While there are sound issues, the administration and school board have found some fairly good temporary solutions while working towards the (more expensive) permanent ones. But the space itself is wonderful and inspiring. I see in other reviews a complaint about the need to constantly raise money for the school. In no way is anyone ever required to donate anything towards the school. But the special things about this school (not including a parking lot and and amazing building), including programs such as the Artists in Residence, Professional Development for the teachers, Aides to help on the playground and in the classrooms, supplies, field trips, other special programs and more all cost a LOT OF MONEY and are not supported by LAUSD, the City, County or State.. So if you do not or can not help in fundraising, I plead you to contact your City Councilperson, your State Representatives, your Governor, and your President and let them know that public schools like Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts need much more monetary support. I am happy to say that my children love to learn and love to go to school, and I give LFCSA the credit for that.

He wasn't receiving challenging materials, nor the support when children were bullying him. I have to say from day one CalCreative offered an amazing 180 degree difference from the traditional setting. He made friends the first day and has been eager to come to school every day. I'm kicking myself for taking so long to move him. I wish I had done it earlier in his education.

But if this company is still running their business, it's definitely a place you do not want to step in. I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The management of this business seriously deserves 0 stars instead of 1 star because they are clearly completely money hungry, despicable, unprofessional, and completely dishonest. I also have to agree with all the negative reviews written about them too. One time as we walked in back in the late spring of 2009, we were told that there was supposed to be an appointment but we explained that we were visiting from out of town and so the owner and president, Angie Kim, came out and we talked with her with another guy. I looked into their school to see if they offer guidance and classes to make a portfolio for graduate schools since their ads mentioned about graduate art school acceptances. It turned out that everything was false. They didn't specialize in graduate school admissions, only undergraduate admissions. Angie and another guy who was VP at the time informed me and my mother that we would need to pay a certain $300.00 or $500.00 fee (I can't exactly remember) for them to find an instructor that specializes in graphic design. Also, they informed us that we would need to schedule a meeting with them to discuss how much these specific private sessions would be for me to make a portfolio for graduate art schools. Does that make any sense? Pay a certain fee to find a teacher and a fee for the private sessions to make a portfolio? We thought it was absolutely inane of them to charge for something like that and then something else. I later learned the guy who was VP is actually Angie's son, Daniel Cho. Even though Daniel doesn't work for Vision 21 Art & Design anymore as of now, he was very unprofessional, condescending, and a real arrogant know-it-all. He even compared me next to his sister of how she did a undergrad thesis and I didn't do one during undergrad. How is that very relevant? I wish I had told him that just because she did a thesis and I didn't do one during undergrad doesn't mean that she is god's gift to the planet and far more superior than me and anyone else. There was no doubt that this was his way of trying to discourage me to go to graduate schools. Guess what? Daniel didn't even go to any art schools and he didn't even major in art and design. So how would Daniel know everything about art and design? I got the impression from them that they saw me as someone who is not grad school material, but they want the money from me to be in their program. Does that make any sense? Was it worth to join their program? Definitely not! It just shows that they are way more interested in getting money. After we left, we thought about it and decided it wasn't worth it. So, we decided to call them and cancel the meeting that was scheduled for the next day and not go forward with them. There was no doubt in our minds that the fee for the private sessions would be extremely expensive. We're guessing it would be at least over $10,000.00 because other previous reviews report that the classes are over $18,000.00- 20,000.00 and that classes were often cancelled and had no make ups for it. I suspect that a private session for me could happen like that too. About a few weeks later after we cancelled the meeting in 2009, Angie called twice to ask if I was interested in doing the private program with them and my mother said no. I actually ended up getting into graduate school without the help of Vision 21 Art & Design since I made my portfolio all on my own and getting some guidance with my former professors. Also, I discovered later and recently online that there have been all sorts of lawsuits filed against Vision 21 Art & Design for breach of contracts, wrongful terminations, fraud, etc. What does that tell you about Vision 21 Art & Design? It just shows that it's a company with a bad reputation. Regardless of whether that business is still running or not, bad karma has to come, especially to Angie and Daniel. Why? Both of them deserve bad karma because of their manipulation, unprofessionalism, arrogance, and the atrocious ways they handle business in a very selfish and dishonest way.

I am disgusted by their lies and awful things I have heard over the course of my studies. From dismissing hearing and mental conditions as an excuse to the administration staff telling teachers that they have to reach a certain pass rate by either failing students that deserve to go on or passing students that should have failed. I have witnessed clinical instructors teaching students while poking the patient with the same needle more than once which is a huge health violation. They prefer students not with healthcare backgrounds so they don't get called out for their lack of proper education. They promise resources and help to students that need assistance but to the students that reach out, are scolded instead for even working once or twice a week and dismiss their requests for assistance. Their remediation for failing a test is talking to students that are a class ahead of you to tutor you for an hour without bringing up the test or similar questions so all that's left for them to say is to read the book with outdated information that contradicts what we learn online or in person. They leave it up to the students to decide which source to trust which leads to constant mistakes that are never learned. I admit my flaws as a student. I have lived with hearing aids and when they were broken I got no assistance from the school. I will admit I scored 73% and 74% in med surg and pharm (passing grade is 75%). I take accountability for my own actions but my mistake was assuming the school would be responsible enough to do the same. After all their smiles and fronts they put up. Once you are admitted and you're financially tied to them, they don't care about you anymore so unless you have 100k to spare for nursing and no responsibilities as an adult to teach yourself. Avoid this school at all costs.
