Canadian Contemporary School of Art (CCSA)

A VERY expensive daycare;As a former employee, I must come forward and state that management has zero concern for their instructors, or the education of the children. Instructors are college kids who receive ZERO criminal background checks prior to their employment. They are also rarely formally trained in the subjects they are teaching. Supervision was minimal at best. Because parents leave as soon as they drop their children off, parents are under the impression that this is an extra curricular educational opportunity, however I see it as a very, very expensive day care. As a parent myself, I would NEVER trust these individuals to look after my son all day. Let alone actually teach them something. If you are a media grad, this may seem like a good opportunity, don't waste your time here. I also witnessed an instructor scold and yell at children during a summer camp activity. A summer camp in which the parents pay big bucks for.

I enrolled my child for Art Portfolio preparation. So far it has been great! The Instructors are handholding my daughter to create a professional portfolio. I wish and pray she gets the course and college of her choice. Thanks Nahal for the valuable guidance.

This place is amazing! The people there are so welcoming and nice.There are so many things my kids can do and explore there, they let their imagination run wild and the outcome is impressive. There are so many things they can choose to do, from drawing and painting to sculpting, photography and fashion design among others.The teachers make the kids feel welcome and wanting to come back. They give them individual attention to their needs.I highly recommend this place for art classes as well as art camp!

I recently attended the Tots club workshop at CCSA with my 3 year old daughter. It was great fun to see my child take part in Rhythmic games, woodwork and cooking activities. I usually play with her at home but it was surreal to see her explore these activities with great curiosity. She was completely immersed! I couldn’t stop myself so I jumped right in. Thank you Nahal for creating such a bonding experience. ❤️And whoever designed these innovative activities.. Kudos to you!!

Nehal and her team at CCSA, especially Avideh, are incredible! They helped my daughter prepare her portfolio to apply to a specialized art program. They were flexible, patient, creative and loving. I would highly recommend this art studio.

Absolutely loved the Adult Painting Classes. The instructors are industry professionals and they made me very comfortable.

I unfortunately cannot recommend CCSA for adult classes. I took an adult sculpture class that fell way below my expectations from the instruction to coursework etc. They decided to run the class with only 2 pupils so it really wasn't very social if you're looking to meet people etc or be amongst peers. The instructor also wasn't available for the first two classes and the director of the school had us play with plasticine for the first lesson. Overall pretty disappointed and cannot recommend to adults.

Absolutely loved the experience. My son attended the PA Day Camp last month and I can't be more happy. The staff, teachers and the entire management was very supportive. I opted for after care too and my son now wants to pursue art after this PA Day.

My son went to their art classes, he Loved it ! Every time he came home he was so excited to tell me about the project on. also his hand writing skills has been improved s o much . Their instructors are very patient and the love kids . The environment is so welcoming and well managed.
