Struggling to teach your child art? Let us do it for you!

Your child’s education is very important to us!

For our home education classes we offer direct to school billing and outcome papers to ensure you know exactly what is being offered in class. Students go home with a slip each week outlining the art vocabulary and techniques that were covered in their class.

Marguerite Bouchard, the Studios owner, and an artist, has over twenty years of homeschooling experience. Home education holds a special place in our heart here at Epiphany Neighbourhood Art Studios. We want to make sure your child gets the best education when they take classes here with us.

Due to our open learning style of curriculum here at the Studios, we can accommodate students with little to no art experience as well as students who are proficient. We work with your child where they are to ensure they are getting individualized instruction. Learn more about our open learning curriculum style here.
