Why NPC

Why families choose NPC

Most studios teach a craft class. We teach a path — one that can run from age five all the way to an art-school offer.

🎯

A path, not a one-off class

Your child can start at age 5 and stay with the same school through teen classes, AP and a university portfolio. Nothing gets restarted at a new studio.

👩‍🏫

6:1 classes, taught by working artists

Small groups with instructors who have worked at studios like Disney, Netflix, Pixar and Apple — not a room of thirty kids with a worksheet.

🤖

More than drawing and painting

Art fundamentals plus the things other studios do not offer: real materials, hands-on making, and 3D printing & modelling.

📍

Four campuses, 20+ years

Kerrisdale, Richmond, South Surrey and West Vancouver — with 3000+ graduates behind us. Pick the campus that fits your week.
