Learn more about our student’s experiences at LAAPA.COM
Here’s what our Parents are Saying:
“As a piano student at LAAPA in the 1980’s and early 1990’s I realized what a gift it was to learn an instrument. I wouldn’t be where I am today without music lessons and to have the special experiences as a student at this school. These positive experiences became such an important part of me that I felt that I had to share my experience with my own daughter. My daughter Sarah loves to sing. So, I enrolled her in summer music camp four years ago and she had such fun that she wanted to take voice lessons. We were so fortunate to get Ms. Katarina as her teacher because she encourages her students to learn what inspires them to be creative and to not be afraid to perform and love to sing and play. Your child has the ability to be an excellent musical talent but it’s rare to have a teacher and an institution like LAAPA to foster that ability.” ~ Ben Anderson Other LAAPA Schools

My daughter has been taking voice lessons at LAAPA for two years. She loves going to class and her teachers are extremely professional, engaging, and make it fun to learn. I’ve seen my daughter really find her voice and learn how to feel confident on stage. She now auditions for drama roles in her school plays, and recently received a role in the ensemble for a JPAS production. All of the administrators at the front desk are very patient and helpful. Their phone etiquette is extraordinary!!! I’ve seen it get quite busy in the lobby, and when someone calls, the administrator is super polite. We’ve enjoyed the school so much that we recently added tap classes as well. We have a wonderful relationship with the school, the teachers and feel that everyone supports the students in doing their best. — Michelle Silva

“Huntington has motivated me to read. I have finished 4 books so far and about to start my 5th. I am thankful to Huntington for helping me learn how to be better in math and reading. ” — Miguel D. (9th Grade) “Miguel loves Huntington! What I find to be wonderful is that they understand that each kid has their own specific strengths and challenges. They are teaching based on the needs of my son. Showing him what he is strong in is such a positive way to assist in teaching, and they encourage Miguel to learn what is difficult for him. It’s just a beautiful learning place, a place filled with great teachers. I am so grateful for finding them. What a blessing. ” — Parent of Miguel
“Huntington has helped me with my math skills (which were admittedly failing), and helped bring my confidence with tests to a new level. Thanks so much!“ — Zac O. (5th Grade) “They helped me advance my math and reading skills, and I would have failed in 2-didget division if it wasn’t for them. Thanks for teaching me everything.“ — Callum O. (4th Grade) “Huntington Went the Extra Mile. We were looking for somewhere that could help our two sons prepare for standardized tests. Huntington went above and beyond my expectations for their test preparation and then provided one on one tutoring that engaged both boys. We’re happy to say they passed their entrance tests, and we couldn’t be happier with Huntington’s assistance in achieving that. ” — Parent of Zac & Callum O. “It is so great to know that I have an ACT test score that can be considered for scholarships already as a sophomore. Now I can focus on my GPA and extra-curricular activities for college applications.” — William A. (10th Grade) “My son is a sophomore in High School and already started thinking-or rather stressingabout the ACT exam. He knew that he wanted to take an exam prep course so I started asking around. My friend that lives in another state told me about Huntington Learning Center and that her son was now in an honor’s college program. I thought, “How easy is that because there is one close to me!” My son committed himself to the program and raised his composite score 10 points!!! Now he is actually looking into scholarships. The instructors at Huntington gave my son the test taking skills he needed for both the ACT exam as well as his school coursework. He has just signed up for AP classes and looking forward to many more college possibilities” — Parent William A.
