Originally the training arm of San Francisco's legendary Pickle Family Circus, Circus Center is today an internationally-recognized training ground for professional circus artists. Aside from offering recreational circus arts classes year-round to hundreds of adults, youth and children, SFCC's Professional Training Program is now recognized as an arts/vocational school of higher education by the US government, which issues student visas to people from around the world. This year we have students from France, Japan, Monaco, England, Peru, Canada, and Russia.

SFCC is the oldest circus school in this country, with master teachers who have performed with the Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe, Moscow Circus, Cirque du Soleil, Pickle Family Circus, Teatro ZinZanni, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey, and the Big Apple Circus.
