This school has nosedived—from a leading choice for aspiring artists to one of the worst. Corporate greed and disastrously poor management have stripped away educational quality and crushed morale.There are no full-time instructors. Instead, students are assigned "industry mentors" who are classified as casual employees. They’re only paid for the time they spend actively teaching—no paid time off, no sick days, no benefits. It’s a gig economy setup, no different from food delivery or rideshare work. Mentors typically have just 20–30 minutes to interact with students before their compensation ends, forcing them to cram lessons into a narrow window. Burnout is inevitable, and meaningful mentorship becomes impossible.Student complaints—regardless of merit—are often met with immediate termination of the mentor. This creates a culture where mentors are pressured to coddle students rather than challenge them or hold them accountable. All course sessions are recorded, yet these recordings are rarely, if ever, reviewed to confirm or deny the validity of complaints. The school demands little to no credibility or responsibility from students, and grading is frequently reviewed—and sometimes altered—by the governing body, further eroding academic integrity.To make matters worse, the school has adopted new government regulations to qualify for financial aid, pushing young artists deeper into debt. Combine that with a knee-jerk termination policy and a toxic feedback loop, and you’re left with an institution that feels anxious, unstable, and broken.Steer clear.
