Korean students arrive at US art schools with
real strengths — and specific adjustment areas.
Here’s how Royal Blue prepares students for the
cultural reality of RISD, Parsons, and CalArts.
Some US art schools conduct interviews as part of their admissions process. Here is how Royal Blue prepares students to perform confidently when it counts.
The Royal Blue Advanced Portfolio Program is
the culminating phase of preparation — where
students build the actual portfolio they will
submit to RISD, Parsons, CalArts, and other
top US art schools.
Students at Royal Blue range from middle school
to high school. Here’s the ideal starting age
for US art school preparation — and what’s
possible at every stage.
Is Royal Blue the right fit for your child?
This post answers that question honestly —
including the situations where we are not
the right program.
Call 02-3446-5929 or use the online form. A first meeting works best with dated recent work, the English score and test date, a school record, a draft list and a budget range.
How to read Royal Blue’s record: 1,099 acceptances at 95 schools, 454 awards (41.3%), and how we handle samples too small to average.
Korean students do not need perfect English
for US art school — but they do need enough
to engage authentically. Here’s what the
English requirements actually look like.
Years in business matter only as a checkable record and current knowledge. Our 1,099 acceptances by school with award counts, plus the admissions changes since 2009.
Most acceptance claims fail one of five simple tests. What to ask, why a summer programme is not an admission, and our own record put through the same tests.
Check academy marketing against the schools’ current rules. Outdated-rule and claims-based red flags, with what Parsons, RISD, SVA and CCA say now.
Is expensive portfolio preparation worth it?
The answer depends on your target schools and
what the program actually includes — here’s
how to evaluate the investment honestly.
