The class I took was just one night, but they also offer a multi-week course that I've heard is great and the prices are really reasonable. They seem to do a good job recruiting the best professional instructors they can find. My child isn't old enough yet for their kids' classes, but I know they have a huge following in the area. Their free gallery exhibits are pretty cool and vary from local artists to national. The current one is the work of a photographer from New York.

I'm currently taking a six week course in wheel throwing, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! I love…read morethe laid back style, and the freedom to which we're given as students to experiment (and, as is often the case with first time anything, make mistakes) with the clay. I enjoy the hands-on format of the instruction, and it's always a relief to know that you don't just have one hunk of clay to work with during the lesson. The studio is airy and spacious with lots of awesome pottery in various stages of finishing to look at, from both instructors and students. There's also a little alcove of free art (clay projects left behind) that you can claim as your own as you head back to your car. The whole process of being at Centered Clay feels very mindful, even the prep and clean up processes. It's a reprieve from the rest of the daily grind in the week. If you're on the fence about trying a class, I would encourage you to try one out! The atmosphere is conducive to making art and enjoying a calm time with clay and others.

It's more of a freestyle experience, where you can either draw inspiration from the beautiful sample pieces or create something entirely original. Emily, the instructor, is welcoming and hands-off, offering helpful tips and great conversation. You won't leave with a finished piece, as it takes about three weeks to dry and fire, but you can return for a glazing party later. They offer other classes too, so it's definitely worth checking out!

I SHOULD'VE DONE DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE ENROLLING. GRADUATION RATE IS ONLY 12%. THAT TELLS YOU…read moreEVERYTHING. Where to begin. I was a student at Americare from 2024-2026. I am also not bashing them - I'm using my real name on this review because it's facts, nothing to hide. They go through a constant change of teachers, or their current teacher takes on a different position in the company. - Unstructured: neither your counselor nor anybody else knows what's going on for future class schedules, etc. -The biggest joke: you have a teacher that meets with students outside of America's hours- to have a study group on Sunday mornings. Yeah a study group. That's unprofessional, especially since the teacher holds a higher nursing degree and apparently doesn't know better. -Same teacher, refused to teach me over an incident that occurred- that had no doing of my own. I had my daughter willing to talk to whoever to explain & about 4 officers from a police dept. to back what had occurred and also willing to speak to the school. No one wanted to hear it. Just that this teacher didnt want to teach me. * I emailed the counslour, my previous teacher Michelle & Stephanie. ALL WITH NO RESPONSE BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS BULLSHIT. I HAVE PROOF OF ALL THE TEXT MESSAGES, EMAILS AND ECT. * -So because of that - I only had a choice but to do night classes. And what kind of adult, licensed teacher, who also has a professional liscense, I beleive as an NP doesnt want to teach a student. Then why are you at Americare to teach. -Let's keep going - there medical bag that they charge you $375 for - none of it works and I beleive they purchased from Temu. That bad. - I went and did all my pre reqs there - incredible teacher! He is no longer there. GO FIGURE. -Then started the nursing program did Fumdamentals of Nursing then went into MEDSURG1 lecture MY FAULT DIDNT STUDY & I FAILED. So obviously I had to retake that course just the lecture part and then passed with an a 100%So all in all I did Fundamentals of Nursing lecture lab and clinicals I did MedSurg1 lecture and lab I did pharmacology1 Lecture- THEN CLINICALS. Then I had to take an ATI test. -Failed that. Well maybe it was because I had 4 or 5 different teachers and every teacher teaching or not teaching was something different - no standard across the board teaching material. Teachers do what they want. - The school offered no tutoring or anything and says you have 4 days to re take the ATI, and if you dont pass that one - back to Fundamentals of Nursing. I didnt know 1/4 of what was in that ATI of course NOT with all the different teachers I had. - One teacher, we did lab with, did our clinicals, came back and that teacher was gone. So of course with no help not knowing what to study no tutoring no nothing I re took and I failed it again. IMAGINE THAT. - Ok so Back to the beggining. I still cant take the day class still because a teacher doesnt want to teach me - so still stuck in night classes. But wait, theres a twist.... when I signed up for this school I signed up because it was hybrid meaning you do everything at home except for your midterms your finals your test out of labs and obviously your clinicals. Plot twist another new night teacher doesnt like the online teaching. So now id have to go in 2 or 3 times a week. Thats when I said thats it, Im done ! Almost 2 years wasted in time, money & everything else and nothing to show for it. -This school only cares about money, only wants to see you fail and is the most unstructured school ive ever been to- or ever heard of. I know there isnt much more options in Illinois for LPN programs. GRADUATION RATE IS ONLY 12% CONTINUED IN BELOW PIC BECAUSE ONLY ALLOWED SO MANY CHARACTERS

Lack of communication was apparent, which was frustrating to say the least. Whenever an issue was…read moreraised by a student, it was often mishandled and ignored. Hidden fees were NOT disclosed upfront and when asked to have an itemized bill, the school could not come up with one. This institution is more interested in accruing revenue than helping their students to succeed. I would caution anyone reading this to read all of the reviews on here before thinking of enrolling at this school as these hidden fees may cause you to be financially strained in the end. If you look at the pass rate of this school for NCLEX-PN, it is BELOW the average passing rate in the state of Illinois and WAY BELOW the national average. No wonder this school is ON PROBATION. See the links at the end of my review. If I were you, I would spend my hard earned money on an institution that has a great reputation and an above average NCLEX pass rate. In my experience, it is best to apply to nursing schools with at least a 95% pass rate; the higher the percentage, the better. SOURCES: 1.
