If you’ve been researching Korean art academies for US art school preparation and Royal Blue Art & Design has emerged as a program you want to learn more about, this post explains exactly how to get in touch, what to expect from initial contact, and how to make the most of your first conversation with us.
Ways to Contact Royal Blue Art & Design
Website: royalblue-art.com The Royal Blue website includes program information, admissions context, and a contact form for initial inquiries. The website is in both Korean and English to serve the full range of families we work with.
In-Person Visit (Apgujeong Studio): Royal Blue Art & Design is located in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Families who want to see the studio environment, meet instructors, and have an initial conversation in person are welcome to visit. Please contact us in advance to arrange a visit — drop-in visits without advance notice may not have the appropriate staff available.
Consultation Inquiry: The most effective way to begin is by requesting an initial consultation — a substantive conversation about your student’s specific situation, target programs, current level, and what a realistic preparation plan would look like. Consultations are offered at no charge and without obligation.
What Happens After You Contact Us
Initial response: Families who contact Royal Blue through the website or by phone receive a response within one business day. We do not use automated response systems that delay genuine human engagement.
Scheduling a consultation: We schedule initial consultations at a time that works for the family — including evenings and weekends when academic schedules make weekday consultations difficult.
The consultation itself: Initial consultations typically last 45 to 60 minutes and include:
- Discussion of the student’s target programs and current level
- Honest assessment of what is realistically achievable with the available preparation timeline
- Overview of Royal Blue’s preparation approach and what is included
- Presentation of relevant admissions documentation for the student’s target programs
- Opportunity to ask any questions — including the verification questions this blog series has recommended
There is no pressure to enroll during or immediately after the consultation. Enrollment decisions benefit from careful reflection, and we encourage families to consult with multiple programs before deciding.
What to Prepare Before Contacting Us
To make the most of your initial consultation, it helps to come with:
- A list of target schools — or at least a sense of which programs (animation, fashion design, fine arts, graphic design, etc.) your student is most interested in
- Your student’s current grade level — which determines the available preparation timeline
- Any prior art background — what art training, if any, your student has had
- Any specific questions — about our results at specific programs, our preparation approach, or any aspect of the US art school application process
You do not need to have a fully formed plan. Initial consultations are often most useful for families who are at the beginning of their research and want an honest, knowledgeable perspective on what their student’s situation realistically looks like.
Languages
Royal Blue Art & Design conducts consultations in Korean and English. Korean-language consultations are available for all families; English-language consultations are available for international school families and students who prefer to communicate in English.
A Note on Enrollment Timing
Enrollment in Royal Blue’s programs is limited by the student-to-instructor ratios that our preparation quality requires. Students who are ready to begin preparation in 10th or early 11th grade are encouraged to contact us early — not to create urgency, but because the earlier preparation begins, the more time is available for the full preparation arc that competitive applications require.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee for the initial consultation? No. Initial consultations are provided at no charge and without any obligation to enroll.
Can consultations be conducted remotely (video call)? Yes. For families outside Seoul or families who prefer remote consultation as a first step, video consultations are available. In-person consultations at our Apgujeong studio are available for families who prefer them.
How far in advance should I schedule a consultation? Contact us as soon as you’re ready. We typically can schedule within one to two weeks of an initial inquiry. For families with urgent timelines — students in 12th grade with approaching deadlines — we prioritize expedited scheduling.
What if I’m not sure Royal Blue is the right program — should I still contact you? Absolutely. Initial consultations are not commitments. They are information-gathering conversations designed to help families understand their options. We give honest assessments — if a different program would serve your student better, we will tell you.
