The professionalism is top rated. When we came in for our appointment I was greeted with smiles and directed to a room. In the process of filling out the paper work they got straight to it.
With in a few hours they taught my children a proper introduction. The patience of the mentor was great. She informed my children of where she wants improvement and encouraged them they were doing great. Periodically the director as well as other employees would come in and watch their introduction. They allowed them to have fun with it and just be themselves.
My daughter (3) was super shy; they gave her her

My experience so far is ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exactly. Both of my children were excepted. My son first week he had an opportunity to be in a film, and also did I mention he had little experience, take advantage of what they give you.
I had Ms.Andrea and we love her she very respectful and very professional and she’s always on point when I need her and the staff.
I like that we are in the Chicago Performing Arts🎭 we are very happy and still taking advantage of our opportunitys.

My daughter recently auditioned and was accepted into CPAA and her experience thus far has been really great!! She is learning and enjoys going to her classes on Saturdays. The staff are extremely professional, welcoming and skilled from the talent director to the instructors. We have received so much support and information from Ms. Andrea which has been extremely helpful. We are happy with our decision to have our daughter join The Chicago Performing Arts Academy!!

Today was my first class and it was a great experience. We learned about improv and the different things to know about improv. It is a great learning environment and the people there are great. The good thing about Chicago’s Performing Arts Academy is that it does not interfere with school. There are only classes on the weekend. It can be every other weekend or sometimes back to back. I can’t wait to learn more information on acting and getting my career started.

I just booked my first job and I am so excited. I have to give thanks to my mentor and instructor Andrea for staying up with me helping me with my fabulous cover letter and the crazy emotions I was feeling. Andrea has been on me about my jobs and I am so glad she was because she actually sees potential in me. I really appreciate her and all of her advise. Thank you for all opportunities!

My experience so far has been AMAZING! The staff members are very professional and so great. They work with the talent so well and create a great learning environment for all. From building confidence to giving feedback, the staff members do their best to ensure a fun and learning experience for all the talent. They have really made it easy to allow me to be myself and because of this, I am always excited to return and curious of what to expect. My family would like to give a BIG thank you to Ms. Andrea for this opportunity and for her support that has made this adventure possible. I believe this

My experience on the first class was amazing due to the new people i met and how i got taught about new things on acting, such as improv and soap opera improv, was great. On the first day of class i learned that it is hard to say yes and continue with a conversation in improv. I really think this program would benefit me in the real world because it helps me come out of my comfort zone and helps you learn new things about acting.

"That will be me someday soon" is one thing I remember saying to my parents when I stepped into the Chicago Performing Arts Academy looking at a former model/student. The professionalism and kindness of the staff was exceptional! I have learned so much already about modeling as this has skyrocketed my confidence and personality ,but still allowing me to be myself. A BIG shout out and thank you to Ms. Andrea for this opportunity as both myself and my family are so blessed and super excited to be doing this! This has been such a great experience for me and I am thrilled about continuing to learn

I have nothing but positive things to say about the program. The instructors are very professional and my daughter has really benefited from their guidance. I would like to thank Mr. Nick for his professionalism. No matter how busy he was, he was always available to answer my questions. The graduation ceremony was fabulous. I could tell that a lot of hard work went into preparing for the event. I would recommend this program to anyone who has interest in the performing arts.
