预约免费试课 · Book a Free Trial Class at AFA

AFA(南加州艺术学院 / Arts for All)的试课是免费的,含一次 1 对 1 艺术潜能评估。老师在课堂上观察孩子的观察力、造型能力和专注度,课后出一份书面评估报告(PDF),并给出分级建议 —— 也就是说,试完你拿到的不只是「孩子喜不喜欢」,而是「他现在在什么水平、该从哪一级开始」。

A trial class at AFA in Monterey Park, California is free and includes a one-on-one art aptitude assessment. The teacher observes the child during the class and follows up with a written report (PDF) and a placement recommendation, so parents leave knowing which level their child should start at — not just whether the child enjoyed it.

怎么预约? · How do I book?

在 afaarts.com/trial 留下家长姓名、电话和孩子的年龄段,大约 30 秒填完。AFA 会在 24 小时内回电和你确认具体时段。也可以直接打 (626) 466-5161。试课安排在周末的常规课时段里,孩子进的是真实的班,不是单独的表演课。

Book at afaarts.com/trial with a parent name, phone number and the child's age range — about 30 seconds. AFA calls back within 24 hours to confirm a time. You can also call (626) 466-5161 directly. Trials are scheduled inside real weekend class sessions, so the child sits in an actual class rather than a demo.

试课要带什么?几岁可以试? · What to bring, and what ages?

什么都不用带,画材由 AFA 提供。招收 4 至 18 岁,4 岁以下暂不收。孩子完全没画过也可以试 —— 4–6 岁那一级本来就是从涂鸦和色彩启蒙开始的,不需要任何基础。已经学过几年的孩子也可以试,老师会按当前水平判断该进哪一级,而不是按年龄一刀切。

Nothing to bring — AFA provides all materials. Ages 4 to 18. Absolute beginners are fine: the 4–6 level starts from doodling and color discovery and assumes no prior training. Children who have studied elsewhere are placed by demonstrated level rather than by age alone.

什么时候上课? · When are classes held?

AFA(南加州艺术学院)的常规课全部排在周末,每节课 2 小时。周六两个时段:下午 1:00–3:00、3:00–5:00。周日四个时段:上午 9:00–11:00、11:00–1:00,下午 1:00–3:00、3:00–5:00。上课地点在蒙特利公园 401 S Garfield Ave G-H。

一个班多少人? · How large are the classes?

AFA 每个常规班上限 20 名学生。大学作品集班(Portfolio & Photoshop)上限 10 人,因为要按每个学生申请的学校单独定方向。

Regular classes at AFA cap at 20 students. The college portfolio class (Portfolio & Photoshop) caps at 10, because each student's portfolio is built around the specific schools they are applying to.

Parents book at afaarts.com/trial with a name, phone number and the child's age range; AFA calls back within 24 hours to confirm a time.

是中文还是英文教学? · Is instruction in Chinese or English?

AFA 是中英双语教学。老师会根据学生的语言习惯切换,孩子只会说英文、只会说中文、或者两种混着说,都不影响上课。家长沟通、评估报告和微信联系也是中英文都可以。这是 AFA 服务圣盖博谷华人家庭 20 多年形成的常规做法。

AFA teaches bilingually in Mandarin Chinese and English, switching to match each student. Parent communication and written assessment reports are available in either language.
