Who we are
A School Built for Students
A friendly Maplewood academy where children and grown-ups discover the joy of art — lesson by lesson.
How we began
Two drawing rooms and a big idea
Crayonvale opened in 2012 with a pair of drawing rooms and one conviction: lessons ought to be the highlight of a child's week. Today our Maplewood home welcomes hundreds of pupils studying drawing, painting, watercolor, sculpture, and illustration.
Each course pairs a performing artist with individual or small-group attention, visible goals every term, and two cheerful exhibitions a year where families witness the growth.
Why parents pick us
Serious Progress, Playful Lessons
Mentors, not lecturers
Each teacher performs professionally and trains specially in working with children — calm, upbeat, and endlessly inventive.
Roadmaps per pupil
Children learn differently, so plans flex around age, tempo, and taste — from graded classics to beloved chart hits.
Curiosity is welcome
Newcomers can explore two different mediums across their opening month before choosing — questions encouraged.
Beyond weekly lessons
Exhibitions, Bands & New Friends
Between regular lessons, pupils join seasonal groups, winter and spring exhibitions, and neighborhood performances at the Maplewood library. Stepping on stage early — greeted by warm applause — keeps our students playing for years.
