    Hi Warren, A friend of mine attended GIA and was not satisfied with
    the experience. (He's an occasional Orchid contributor and hopefully
    he'll jump in here.) From what I recall, he found it overly rigid. 
    You're required to complete tedious, meticulous projects with no room
    for error or creativity.  On the other hand, there's something to be
    said for learning to do it right. 

    If I could swing it, I know that I would opt for The Revere Academy
    over GIA any day.  You'd learn classical techniques, just as at GIA,
    but from what I have heard, you'd also enjoy the experience! 
    Unfortunately San Francisco is a lot more than 10 miles away from
    where you live. 

Beth
