Nine Studio - San Francisco, California

Amelie Hurst

My 2nd grader has been attending a weekly class at nine studio for the past six months, and both he and I couldn't rate the experience more highly! He's generally reluctant to try new extracurricular activities, but he's loved this class from the get-go (despite his initial hesitance about taking an art class!). The studio owner and her team are warm, professional and super creative, with the curriculum covering diverse artists, mediums and art history in such a fun, engaging way. When I collect my son each week, I'm always wowed by the group's creations... And blown away by how focused and calm the kids are, especially after a long school day. All credit to the teachers' talents!

My daughter LOVES going to Nine! She attended summer camp and their after school programs. Nine has also developed programs on days when we've got a school day off. The quality of the teachers are superb; I feel they're especially good at knowing how to balance creativity and teaching technique on an individual basis. I love how they incorporate aspects of executive functioning in their teaching approach. The place is super clean and they have a good supply of materials for kids to explore. I recall the day my daughter found some materials to use, and she said "my creativity just went wild with the possibilities of what I could do with it". I looked at other art programs, but I trust Amelie's (Managing Director) and often seek her advice on how to cultivate my daughter's art skills.

The best gym and pool facilities in San Francisco. The gym has great equipment and the classes are super fun. The pool is the perfect temperature and is super fancy and new and nice. The swimming classes for kids also have great instructors. The lockers are immaculately clean and the showers and other locker facilities are always working and scrubbed clean.

I absolutely love Nine Studio! This is our 2nd time doing a camp week at Nine Studio. My children had previously attended camp during their spring break week. I have an 8 year old & a 11 year old and they started Summer Camp this week. The theme of the week is mythical monsters which is a genius idea to get the children to create art and they get the added bonus of learning some of the history relating to Greek Gods and the stories behind some of those Gods. My children are currently making their "monster" from wire and adding layers to this with air clay so that when the week is up they will end up with their very own uniquely painted sculpture! There is no right or wrong way, it is just their imagination at work! The teachers are very knowledgeable and you can tell that they are very patient and want every child to create their own art that is a master piece of their own! I cannot wait to see the end result. As of now all I hear from my kids is how their teacher Eugene showed them this and taught them that. It was a non-stop chatter the entire way home and throughout dinner! I call that successful camp day for our family!

Great location, good variety of classes. Love the option of either taking instructed classes or letting children explore art supplies on their own. Parking is tricky but that's expected in SF
