We are independently owned by long-term Santa Rosa, California resident Julie Nation, who founded the Academy in l972 in the belief that building self-esteem and confidence is the foundation for success in life- as individuals and in our careers.

An award-winning academy, this modeling and acting school is not a franchise, and refers students and graduates to Bay Area and Los Angeles agents for potential registration and employment. Our Model & Talent Showcase offers our students and participants from all over the United States, even internationally, the opportunity to perform their skills before a panel of prestigious agents and industry leaders. Our Casting Department also offers students and graduates local opportunities to build their resumes.
