The best art school
CSAD, also known as California School of Art and Design is an after school art program which first opened in 1996 in the heart of the Silicon Valley (San Francisco Bay Area.) Our main school is located in San Jose, while we have two branches located in Pleasanton and Palo Alto. CSAD is permitted by the school district allowing our students to study within an actual school system, setting us apart from the rest.
Over the 16 years of hard work, more than 300 students from CSAD have 100% acceptance rate to the prestigious Ivy League schools and the top 10 Art Universities in the nation. From these colleges, our students were able to receive scholarships that range from $20,000 to $170,000.
The principal of CSAD Young J Lee was the youngest ever to receive the prestigious President's Award at the Korean Industrial Design Competition. With much success as a designer and a college professor for 15 years, he was able to experience both the business aspect and learning aspect of the Korean Art Community, evaluating student's portfolios and taking each and everyone himself individually. All of of the teachers at CSAD are alumni from the top ten art colleges in the nation. With much experience, our school has gained knowledge of what the schools are looking for, allowing the students to better prepare themselves and having an advantage even during college.
Knowledge is CSAD's greatest strength. Our school will work together with the students, helping the them decide a particular major/college that he or she wants to pursue in the future. Our school also helps monitor the student's school work such as GPA and SATs allowing the students to have as many options as possible. The United States have many scholarship opportunities and our school will work together with the student and family so that the students can receive the best scholarship possible.
