foreign language lessons
Language and art have been historically intertwined as one. At the Academy of Art & Design, we hire teachers who are qualified to teach a foreign language. Choose from Mandarin Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish private tutoring or group lessons. We believe the that students should learn a foreign language as early as possible. There are many studies done that show benefits of knowing more than one language.

The purpose of our school is to cultivate innovative artists, designers and interdisciplinary talents in the future, and to provide art and scientific creative thinking courses for the new generation in the artificial intelligence era.

The art and design school focuses on the cultivation of interdisciplinary innovation and transformative talents. It has both the teaching concept of technology and art integration, and the combination of theory and practice with artistic thinking.
