Help Center

First-timers, first join us for a FREE 1-hr class online or in the live studio. Please contact Chief Instructor (CI) Ana by texting 732-789-4309. She will send you the free class registration form available online! Returning students please text Chief Instructor (CI) Ana at 732-789-4309 for the online registration form for a child, teen or adult. She will then email you the age-appropriate registration link. We cannot post registration forms permanently on the website because the studio would be flooded with students that we would not be able to seat. Thank you for understanding!

REGISTERING FOR CLASSES

How can I register for any age (7 to adult) and for any class?

You can find the online class Zoom link in the Announcements section of your Jackrabbit parent/user portal.

ONLINE CLASSES

Where is the link to the studio’s online classes on Zoom?

All of this can be done in your user/parent portal! The Jackrabbit (JR) portal lets you pay and manage your tuition, update payment methods, choose class slots, manage attendance (posting absences, booking makeups, seeing one’s attendance record), and more.

For account information, billing, attendance matters, and staff payroll:

JR will not let users/parents change the date of a posted make-up class. Let us help. Please email art14@artacademynj.com. Include in your email the date/time of the posted make-up class that you wish to cancel, and also share the new date/time slot that you’d like for that make-up class. We’ll reply with a confirmation that the switch was made on your behalf.

On JackRabbit (JR), can I change the date of my already-posted make-up class to a later date?

That’s easy, too! And we can do it as often as you need, provided seats are available. Please email us at art14@artacademynj.com. Please list the student name, the class day and time they are currently attending, the day and time you wish to move to, and the date you would like this change to come into effect.

CHOOSING & CHANGING MY WEEKLY DEFAULT CLASS(ES) DAY/TIME

How do I change my default class day & time?

A child student of the AAHP advances into the teen program if they have turned 13 years old by September 1. The teen studio offers two tracks: –Frida’s Studio: for teen students ages 13-17 attending a non-portfolio track, at a minimum of 1hr of class/week. –Big Blue Sky Creatives: for teen students age 13-17 attending a minimum of 2 hours/week. These students build and prep a portfolio of top works across three years of high school. A strong AAHP portfolio from our exceptionally program is very important for students intending to pursue college programs in architecture, design, or art. Such colleges make portfolios mandatory. In some cases, youngsters who are not yet teens can be fast-tracked into a portfolio program before entering high school. Please speak about this with Chief Instructor Ana. The portfolio as an optional, supplementary material is also very helpful to students pursuing careers in engineering, math, IT, science, law, politics, medicine, etc., given that a strong portfolio will help the student stand out from other college applicants. A portfolio is also very useful for applying to college levels and post-college awards, scholarship, internships and jobs. Families please confirm whether your anticipated colleges require mandatory portfolio or accept them as supplementary materials.

My child is now a teen. How do I advance them into the teen program?
