“After studying at Sofia Art Academy I felt a very definite technical
advantage over most of my fellow students at Parsons The New
School for Design, and even over some of my instructors (because
it is rare for an instructor to be as well trained in classical art as one
Sofia's long term students).

Sofia Art Academy gives you an education on the level of the best
universities in the World. What they are really good at is not promoting
a specific aesthetic, but giving students the proper set of tools
to be able to express themselves to their full potential. An artist
should be able to portray exactly what he/she wishes and for this
you need more than just talent, you need technical skill. This is
exactly what Sofia Art Academy teaches, and teaches it on the
highest level possible.

After leaving Sofia Art Academy I was accepted to Parsons
(Fashion Design Major) where I won a series of awards
and scholarships. I have just graduated and have already found
a job (Elie Tahari Menswear Design). Throughout my college
experience I have kept in close contact with Sofia and Igor and they
have continued to be a big help. I even met my wife in their studio! 
Without the education and personal assistance that I received
at Sofia's I doubt I would be where I am today.”

“Dear Sofia and Igor,
I wanted to personally thank you for the excellent instruction you have
provided for Andrew. In the year he has been part of your program we
have seen the quality of his art improve significantly. In fact, this year
he won several awards at the TAPPS (Texas Association of Private
and Parochial Schools) State Art Competition.

Andrew also won the award for Outstanding Art Student at his high
school due to his Senior AP (Art portfolio) which you were instrumental
in helping him prepare.

This fall he will be attending Texas Tech University majoring in Art.
None of this would have been possible without your help!”
