We are often asked "When does this course start ? " OR "When can I begin to take lessons for this program ?". Our answer is "Every week" OR "The week you want to start". They often cannot understand what we mean. This is quite understandable because we do not adopt the class schedule system most other schools use.
California Flower Art Academy teaches floral designs with a semi private lesson system limiting number of students to no more than 4 per class/instructor (typically only 2-3 students per class). We do not adopt the semester system. Due to a semi private lesson based on very small number of students, each student can have his/her own lesson schedule. Therefore the day he/she starts taking lessons is the initial day of the program/course.
Concretely speaking, each student can set up his/her lesson schedule according to the under mentioned way:
Throughout the year, you can start taking lessons anytime you like as far as we have space available and receive a check (for the lesson fee) from you EXCEPT the period during which we offer series of seminars in Japan and also during summer vacation.
