Many students drive from as far as chilliwack due to the lack of classes available in the area. Most acting classes are downtown Vancouver and they are FULL. Usually an acting class can run up to 30-35 students and you're waiting all night to do your scene. Not here, the class is small so you get a chance to run your scene a few times if necessary and the intimate setting gives a sense of closeness and trust. Classes are $200 monthly and the end of the month you bring your SD card and do on camera work. It would be really great to get back into my creative bag and delve into some scene work, for fun. I recommend this as a friendly environment for beginners and intermediate alike. Sherry is a working actor so she knows the ins and outs of the business's and has close contacts with some casting directors and agents in the lower mainland.

Oh boy. This will be a long one. I attended Langley Fine…read moreArts School for six years (Grades 1-6). As such, this will not concern the high school experience, but rather, my experience going there as a young child. First off, the education itself is great. I did not have any issues with the ways core subjects were taught. The arts program is great for people that have an interest in the arts, but it mainly distracted people that had ambitions outside of the arts. There was definitely a pressure to pressure one of the fine arts, and they were not very modern about it. No modern dances, songs, or art mediums to be seen. It's a split issue, and is something that any arts school would have to deal with. Technology is almost absent apart from photography. Computers/laptops are used very rarely, and strictly for research purposes. I never learned how to type properly as a result. The school itself is pretty fine, no main issues with the building except for the portables, which have no heat or a/c. The school has an odd tendency to catch fire, but that isn't really the fault of the people who built it. Overall perfectly fine building. The teachers were a mixed bag, some great, some fine, some downright toxic. I did not have many issues with teachers myself, but many did. The general attitude of the school is accepting of lgbtq, disapproving of technology, and very focus on rewarding those that are naturally gifted. The kids and parents this school attracts are not always the most in touch. The parents gossiped about their kids' friends like a bunch of 16 year old girls. It was not very to have grown adults talk about me behind my back. However it's worth noting that my experience might be worse than average due to the fact that my grade was notoriously rowdy and snarky (if you know, you know). Last thing that I want to mention is that this school does not treat those with autism and/or ADHD very well. Fidgets are very frowned upon, support for kids that need it is practically non existent, and certain teachers made habits out of publicly shaming neurodivergent students. My brother, who is autistic, had a miserable experience there. In summary, this school is great for "Gifted" students. If you aren't gifted, you will probably have an average or negative experience.

It's a good school for arts from Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, Music, Photography, to Writing majors…read more You have 4 majors (Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, and Music) when you're kindergarten to 7th grade. For 8th grade you have to choose two majors from those 4 categories too. For 9th and 10th grade you choose one major from those 4 categories as well. As you reach 11th grade you have to choose one major from (Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, Music or Photography). When you are 12th grade you can choose one major out of the 6 majors. We have two electives starting from 8th grade and there's so many to choose from. Ceramics, fabric & fibre, multimedia, stagecraft, musical theatre, vocal studies, photography, filming, stretch & strength, weight training, and many more. I've been to LFAS for 5 years and graduated from Visual Arts major and got an award at my grad show/gala night. This school prepare you well for universities. My first year in art university was a lot easier than half if not most of my peers. If you are in Visual Arts, you have AP art too and it's great. We learn art history, techniques, do critiques, practice interviews for portfolio day, studio time, and more. Great school! They have some amazing teachers but a few more judgmental and narrow minded one but in general it's a good school.

*You can see my original review and the owner's reply, below*…read more I didn't think my opinion of The ArtWay Studio could get any lower, but the owner, Denna, has replied to my review AND contacted me privately, eight years later. Instead of trying to make it right or even apologizing, she is asking me to remove my review. I even took the time to re-explain my issues in detail, and her response was nothing but gaslighting, sarcasm, and calling me entitled. Now that I know the teacher I had was fired, I feel even more like I wasted a lot of money and learned nothing. I am often hesitant to leave negative reviews for small businesses and I would have happily revised my review if Denna had made even a small attempt to make things right, but I now feel like I have to warn other people against spending money here. The classes were disappointing and the customer service is abhorrent.
