Due to the recent surge of Coronavirus infections in Los Angeles County, we are forced to postpone the school’s reopening until further notice.  We will resume with the reopening plan once we feel confident that we can provide a safe working environment for our students and staff.
UNTIL WE REOPEN IN LOS ANGELES, CHECK OUT THE ONLINE CLASSES WE ARE OFFERING AT THIS TIME!
