  2. Please don't forget their TV show, the staff who created and wrote the false information and the man behind the curtain...Nathan who did not pay the teachers, vendors, staff or file their SS and taxes. http://www.designingyourfuture.tv/aboutus.html

  3. A new art school has opened thier doors called "Creative World Art School" They have an academic afterschool program as well as art classes. With former teachers from Montecito. I guess their back to business…new name…same 411

  4. It is not correct to assume there is a connection with Ed and the "Creative World Art School". They are not "back to business".

    Don't forget that the staff were also victims of Ed And Trisha's school.

    Creative World Art School has a different owner, and is not connected with the failed schools.

  10. As far as we know, some parents did sue; but the administrators of this website are unaware of the outcome. Also we understand that staff did not get paid.

  12. Be very cautious...she was the "principal" of MHSASD and has taken and continues the same bs for her and her husband's place...it is NOT accredited by WASC...it can't be. The drama continues even with some of the same "teachers" from Montecito High School of Art, Science & Design...She know everything Ed, Nathan & Trisha was doing to their clients...and now she and her husband are doing it...

  13. This is the same "principal" that held student transcripts from MHSASD and would not release them unless the parents paid her. This was after the school had folded, and students had to reenroll in their previous schools. If was also determined that the supposed AP courses that had been offered, were not official and approved AP courses, so they could not be listed as such on the transcripts.
    As principal, she knew about this, but continued the lie. Why did some parents continue to follow her lead? Do they really believe her?

  14. It is students and parents fault. Whoever wrote 2/4 post is correct in that they kept believing Suzanna who has now taken baton in her hands. She is calling her husband a douchebag =Dr. Cao who can not speak English is going to teach prospective Medical Students Eastern methods of studying- What a joke!

    And now they are charging $40000/yr. Some one must write to State Superintendent of Public Instruction at
