    My 10 year old went to the AYA two week summer camp. He absolutely loved it. The staff is knowledgeable and patient. This was a wonderful experience and we are now looking into enrolling him in the regular program.

    We had just moved from Mexico to California and my son wanted to try out acting and we wanted him to practice his English.

We feel so lucky to have found AYA.
