Payments and make ups:
The payments for ongoing classes are either per semester (available only before the semester starts) or monthly, with automatic monthly charge. Monthly payment is collected on the same day each month and the billing starts either on the day of the first class of semester (if you signed up before the start of the semester) or on the day of the registration. Payment for the last month of the semester is prorated, if less than 4 classes fall into last billing cycle. Our registration is for the whole semester, even if you choose the monthly payments. In case you decide to discontinue the classes before the end of the semester, please let us know 30 days ahead of time, and we will stop the auto-payment. Payments are made through our secure online registration system which accepts all major credit cards. We do not have access to your credit card information. You can make up a missed class on another day when we offer the same age/skill group class. The make-up class should be arranged in advance, no drop-ins. Limit 2 make-up classes per month. Make-up classes are subject to the availability of space in a similar class. We reserve the right not to provide make-up classes or terminate the class enrollment for repeating truancy. We do not provide refunds for ongoing classes tuition, courses or camps payments. However, full credit towards future booking or transfer to another camp/course will be offered for any cancellations made up to 24hrs before the camp or course starts.

Testimonials:
My daughter had her 10th birthday party at the Art School of SF Bay at the San Rafael location and it was awesome! Teacher Hana was so great with the kids, super engaging with a lot of patience teaching the kids drawing techniques and water colour painting. My daughter enjoyed it so much she is now attending one of Hana's classes! Hana is a natural with the kiddos, I highly recommend her!

My daughter has been taking classes at Art of SF Bay for a while now and loves it. Most recently we hosted a birthday party for our daughter with teachers Anna and Jasper. We got to pick the theme and medium that the kids would have a class on. My daughter chose drawing and painting animals. All the kids got to pick an animal of their choice. Jasper and Anna started with teaching the kids the fundamentals of drawing animals and then helped the kids find reference photos for the animal they chose. Anna and Jasper then worked with the kids individually to help them with their drawings and then with the painting process. They were both very patient and helpful with the kids. All the kids had a great time and were so excited and proud of their finished paintings. There was of course pizza and cake as well but the kids were having so much fun working on their paintings they ate quickly and wanted to get right back to their art. A huge thank you to Jasper and Anna for helping make my daughter's birthday party such a memorable and great one. I highly recommend both the classes here and hosting a party.

We have recently had a teen birthday party for our daughter at the Art School of the Bay, and were very pleased with it. We worked with teacher Maria to communicate regarding the event organization. Maria was very kind to accommodate our needs of party of 10.
We chose a Studio Ghibli/Miayazaki animation theme for the party, and kids sketched and drew under Maria's attentive and gentle guidance.
We also used the studio's backyard where we arranged snacks, refreshments and a birthday cake. The studio has a small kitchen and a fridge. Maria also kindly provided folding tables and chairs, which was very convenient.
