From time to time, our school is visited by students from foreign countries. Some of them give us inquiry before visiting America and ask us to provide necessary information. However some of them do not give us any advance notification for coming to our school. All of a sudden they appear in our classroom and ask us if or not they can take lessons right away.
So far we had visitor students from Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Guam, Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia, Mexico, Thailand etc. Everybody found our school on the internet. Some of them stay in the San Francisco for a long period of time (such as a couple of years) and some of them just stay here a couple of weeks.
The purpose of learning floral designs at our school is as follows:
1. To make the best use of their stay here.
2. To get a certificate of floral design course.
3. To earn practical skills of floral arrangements
4. To enjoy having a nice experience of attending a seminar
Some of them came to America for their husband job. Some of them came here for learning at a local college. Some came as a tourist. From person to person the main purpose of visiting the Bay Area is different. We often hear that in their home country there is no floral design school. That is why they wanted to take lesson at our school. Some students complete several courses and some just join a short program.
As far as there is no legal issue for them to take a lesson, we are willing to accept these students so they can learn flower arrangement at our school. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact info@california-academy.com
