They were personable, showed us their dorm rooms and gave us insight. They have a ton of great programs. One of the best things we saw were the fashion department and the animation. The art work on the walls is just outstanding but the downside of the campus is it's far away from LA. I think it was at least 45 min away with traffic overall looks good. Didn't realize Walt Disney owned the campus as well. Nice little nugget

I've background in the…read moreentertainment business (over 20 years) so to have this gem in my neighborhood and not have to go allll the way to LA/Hollywood is a blessing in disguise. My youngest son is a natural performer and although he has an agent, prior to enrollment, I began to take notice that he really needed to gain more confidence and truly learn and cultivate his skill set. I'd driven past this location so many times over the years and even knew tons of kids who attended but never inquired. I'd always thought SCV is so off the grid what do they know about Hollywood? just another company taking peoples money claiming they have all these connections getting folks hopes up. But after wanting to yank my hair out managing my son's auditions I decided I go check them out. And I would have never imagined how one decision could change the trajectory of my thinking and open up so many opportunity. I will say, if you attempt to get pricing info over the phone, that's not gonna happen. You will be directed to Mike Josten, the owner. He's been in business over 20 years in the city, please feel free to check out his accreditations with the City (like Chamber of Commerce, etc.). It's a business people, I've seen comments like "he's a Salesman" but if you already have your mind set to buy something .. you will and if you don't, you won't. You can't blame a business owner for doing his job selling his business. You came to him. He's not scouting and cold calling. Mike was everything I'd imagined. High energy, friendly, passionate and so so encouraging. I've never met a stranger so kind, he's funny too and just really wanting to help support peoples dreams. And that all truly mattered to me. Without a doubt this school is it. When you see comments saying everyone in there gives a family vibe, it's true. All the students love Mike! He jokes and laughs with them, they respect him and everyone PERFORMS. And The teachers get to it! They supply the trainings, and resources all the way up to helping you land an agent. There are legit SAG/AFTRA agents that scout EVERY SAT at the school. Being on the business side of the entertainment business, I know this place is a powerhouse for anyone wanting to take their craft serious and are really looking to get out there. You just have to bring your skill set and show up! Put in the work. I love it, and I don't think I've ever been so grateful to a team of people for supporting me and my baby side by side and also breathing life back into my own dreams and aspirations!

My husband was excited when he was taking an international flight and saw our son in the DirecTV commercial. He is now 25 and has an established career and since has moved on.... Now, we have our 11 year old daughter enrolled in SCSOPA! She is enjoying every single minute here. I believe this may be her second home. She enjoys the acting classes, the voice overs, teen runway, on-camera scene practices, etc. She loves it, loves it, LOVES it!!! To add on, she has made some great friends already in the 2 months that she has been here. She just participated in a fashion show, so this place keeps her BUSY! The teachers are awesome. They are encouraging and kind. All of the instructors have professional backgrounds and it's wonderful that they are sharing it with our kids. There are agents that come weekly looking for talent. SCSOPA is preparing her for a shot in the industry! We also see her confidence building. She has met with a couple agents and is wanted by both. We will see;). Mike, the owner is warm, hilarious, and full of energy. Mike and his team are passionate about the kids and their future in show biz. So far, we believe this is the best thing we have done for our daughter so far.

If you want to pursue a career in the arts, where you learn the ways of the old masters, and by…read morethat I mean learning how to REALLY draw, how to REALLY paint, how to REALLY sculpt then LAFFA is the school for you. No school now days will teach you how to draw and paint like Rembrant, Bougerou, Ingres, In fact many art schools now days do not teach you the most important concept of drawing and that is that in art learning is life long it does not end with a degree. LAFFA emphasizes that. Furthermore many art schools focus simply on art being just paint splattered on a canvas or some weird as hell sculpture that sells for millions and where the "artist" i.e. like KOONs and Andy Warhol do not even do any work at all. LAFFA is very much like how people back in the ECOLE Beux arts were taught, or how those in the high renaissance were taught, in the atelier style, by the end of one class you will have learned how to truly draw which is the basis of all art! The accreditation, accreditation is a good thing, however it will not mean you will magically teach you how to draw and paint, much like some assume a degree means. no a true artist has YEARS of practice and does not stop because a true artist knows that to be able to truly know that they are good at something, they must remember they always know nothing like the renowned cellist Pablo Casalas once said when he was asked at 93 why he still practiced the cello 3hours a day" i think i am finally improving" that is what you will see here TRUE MASTERS of the lost art of drawing and painting, modern day Bougerou's, Rembrants, Franz Hals, Titian, Ingress etc. Who embody the true spirit of the lost arts which many so called art schools sans Cal Arts and 3 kicks do not teach today. One teacher i highly recommend taking is Rey Bustos, he is harsh, he is firm but his passion will drive you. He is truly an amazing instructor.
