Our 8 yo son enjoyed greatly his camp at calcolor in art foundations with Amy and they produced some fun/impressive artwork too, thank you!

Great place for art lessons and our kid really likes the teacher here and always looks forward to class. Classes are 1.5hrs usually and fortunately a lot of shopping around here and a relatively walkable area too for parents. Also nice that they have other Bay Area locations in case we need to make up a class due to vacation or other conflict. read more

My child has been going here for 3 years for weekend classes and summer camps and loves them all. Great teachers, programs and environment.

Fun and educational for sure! Signed my niece up for the summer camp here after a friend's recommendation, and we love the summer camp here. The kid had a lot of fun and created a lot of art pieces :) She came home every day excited to show her drawings and little clay projects, chatting nonstop. Staff is super patient and encouraging, you can really feel they care about the kids' creativity, not just "babysitting." read more

Student had fun. 85 word min review criteria is insane. Yelp, why? Here I am trying to give a quick review and I am required to write an essay in order to post. This seems unnecessary and a tax on my time. Why? read more

Highly recommend Calcolor Academy. Their curriculum and the progression between programs are excellent. My daughter began her class in the foundation program with Ms. Yana from Mountain View, who is very nice and a wonderful teacher. She helped to build up solid foundation and confidence with my daughter then referred her later transition to the Elite program, which was new to MV. Now my daughter is learning from Ms. Sherry, who is truly amazing! Ms. Sherry opened the program for this branch almost by herself from scratch. She is incredibly hardworking, patient and encouraging. She always provides detailed and constructive feedback to genuinely help her students grow. We indeed have seen obvious improvements in my daughter's delegation for painting and overall skills the past year. We felt so lucky and grateful to have both amazing teachers to be part of the learning journey to my daughter! read more

We're very happy we found CalColor Mountain View! This was my daughter's first experience attending an art studio, and joining the Elite Class has been such a positive experience for her. Ms. Sherry Pan does an amazing job balancing instruction with creativity. Instead of simply teaching kids to copy, she introduces different art approaches, styles, and ways of thinking, while still encouraging each child's own expression. A highlight for my daughter was getting to do plein air / park painting for the first time -- such a refreshing experience beyond the typical classroom setting. You can really feel the passion and thoughtful teaching here. Strongly recommend Ms. Sherry and CalColor for parents looking for an art program that develops both skills and creativity. read more

Teachers and lesson quality is top notch -- 5. Experience and hospitality --- 0 We are 35 mts away from the MV or Cupertino location and go to MV. Wait till the class is over and pick our kid. There are other parents in similar situation. Front desk staff doesn't have any courtesy, to offer any support - even if a waiting parent request for a chair to sit. One time I was offered a stool. When I shared it's difficult to handle the laptop and uncomfortable without any back support to sit for an hour, the person shared I can either sit outside (in the cold) or go to nearby Starbucks. Another time a parent was standing for 20 mts with no chair in waiting room. Never cared. Guest Internet was not working since Dec. First they didn't even shared till checked. Second they kept lying it was not working for only couple weeks, till a parent confronted. After it was stated due to old building issues they can never fix the WiFi though they are trying hard for 3 months now ! Our next option - cupertino location -had big glass window in the waiting room with full sun glazing in the eyes. They never cared to have a screen or something to make the waiting parents comfortable. Our summer camp was HORRIBLE experience in MV, last year, with children jam packed in class, and parents were not allowed after the hallway entry, blocked by front entrance table. Most of the front desk staff, insensitive and doesn't care. I will be dropping off soon because of this hospitality expressed. We will be missing the teachers, who are kind and very good. read more

My daughter has been studying drawing with Calcolor for several years starting with exploration program in Cupertino campus. In the recent year, we have moved to MTV campus with Mr. Sean's portfolio prep drawing class. Mr. Sean is an outstanding art teacher! We are very thankful for his dedication and incredible skilled at tailoring lessons to each student's progress. Our daughter has thrived and shown incredible improvement since joining his class. She genuinely looks forward to every class. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend! read more

We jumped into the Art Exploration program in the middle of the spring semester, and our son is absolutely obsessed! Aside from the actual art skills he's picking up, what I love most is seeing how much his confidence and curiosity have grown. He talks about his artwork all the time, constantly creates new things at home, and even invites us to team up and co-design pieces with him. A huge shoutout to Ms. Yuki! She is incredibly patient and encouraging, and she gives so much hands-on help to the little ones just starting out. I'm especially amazed by the great energy and care she brings to the classroom, even though we have a pretty late Wednesday night class. We totally recommend it! read more

Miss Aki is so wonderful! My daughter Emma joined the class as the youngest student. Miss Aki inspired her so much and she loved painting and cannot wait for class every week. She didn't want to leave after 1.5 hour class and it was not very common for a very active kids like my daughter. Miss Aki inspired her to explore different media and really built her confidence as a young artist!! read more

my son had an amazing time in camp with ms amy in the foundations class. we will definitely be back!

Ms Yifei is amazing. I thought we would have issues with our kid after for teacher left. However, Ms yifei had made the transition over smoothly and my daughter loves taking her class. She's patient with the kids and helped the kids engage into the activities seamlessly. read more

This is a great place for students to learn art. Many after school art programs are either too traditional and focus only on technique, while some are mostly aimed at just entertaining children. Calcolor has an effective approach that is concept based. So the teacher might teach about perspective, aspect, and distance, then give students a project to work on and assist as needed. They have parents come in, then the teacher showcases the work. This seems a little forced but parents will appreciate the gesture, especially in terms of learning to appreciate student art aesthetic. You pay on a monthly basis with each class pro rated at $45 for a 1.5 hour session. Talk to the manager for more details. read more

We learned about CalColor by referral from our neighbors. We tried various art studios for our 5 years old (2 in Palo Alto, 2 in Cupertino and 1 in Mountain View) before we finally decided on CalColor! We, as us parents and our five years old, love the school! Ms. Kristen is very patient and Ms. Lan is really passionate about her school. I was impressed with the curriculum and love the idea that my kid gets exposed to different forms of media and the artists. My kid is enjoying the class very much and loves to do the "homework"! Imagination is encouraged and surprisingly, my kid learned to express her ideas through her paintings! Yay! read more

When selecting summer camps, I was very hesitant to pick an art camp for my 6 year old daughter. You know, all other camps offer some sort of art and craft activities anyway. Calcolor Academy offered a three-day camp the week of July-4th and I decided to give it a try. I was quite impressed by the camp and my daughter also had a great time. In only 3 days, she finished 3 major projects, the Popsicle Stick Chair, the air dry clay birthday cake (from design to model), and a beautiful oil paining, not to mention many other fun activities and field trip to the near by park. My Daughter and I (OK, I admit, it was mostly me. We didn't have such fun summer camps growing up) were so inspired. We happened to have a bag of rainbow color Popsicle Sticks so we end up making a table to match her project. The teachers are young but very experienced. They are passionate about art as well as teaching young kids. I am particular interested in various ways they let kids explore arts, not just the typical drawings. We are seriously considering signing up for regular art class with calcolor. read more

My kid has being attend Calcolor in MV for several. She loves going there and looks forward to class every weekend. And we look forward to seeing her results.

My daughter has been here for almost two years and she loves it. Really cool projects and she's learned a lot.

My 9 years old has been joining Calcolor Academy since October 2020. Because of the Pandemic, she started online classes. My daughter enjoyed the online classes provided by Ms Jenna a lot. Since the school provides in-person classes this fall, my daughter has joined her advancement classes in person. The school provides good Covid 19 measures and I feel comfortable for my girl to attend the classes in person. My daughter has a very busy after school schedule from Mon to Fri. But she still insists to attend the art classes because Ms Jenna teaches her lots of good skills in painting and sketching things. Apart from the enjoyable classes and art skills my daughter experiences there, I really appreciate the kindness and great help from Ms Jenna and Sunny (the staff at Mountain View location). Both ladies helped me solve the class schedule problem my daughter would have. The help Ms Jenna and Sunny provided was beyond my expectation. I really appreciated how loving and caring the teaching and administrative staff at Mountain View location provides for my daughter and me. read more

My 6 years boy has been with Calcolor for one and a half year. He loves Calcolor. His friends love Calcolor too. Teachers here are all super nice, knowledgeable and passionate.

And look at how much he improves in his art work last year. Now he is a happy creative and confident artist! read more
