General Info

We are strictly a floral school, not a flower shop running classes out of a back room or a part time program in a retail or wholesale location.... Our staff includes a Doctorate in Education. We believe that a floral school must have more than work benches and a pretty display of flowers. Our school routinely uses multimedia approaches and the latest technologies to enhance your learning experience. Any Floral School is expected to have good floral designers on staff...... But when you are learning floral designing, you want and deserve more than a floral designer who likes to pose, and show off what a great "artiste" s/he is..... You deserve great teaching and a pleasant atmosphere...... Why Rittners? Our school attracts folks from all over the country and from overseas as well. Quite simply, we are the finest program of our kind in the United States....for a number of reasons....... You benefit from a facility designed for floral design instruction. We feel that in the 21st Century, work benches and pretty displays of flowers alone are not enough to make a floral school outstanding. Our school includes state-of-the-art audiovisual resources. Our specialized library of over 4000 floral art books, floral industry resource file of over 1000 subjects, computer network and many other resources make your learning even more effective and pleasant. Our facility is a permanent one. Not a borrowed space in some other kind of business. We are constantly improving our facility and resources. You would expect great facilities in an elementary or secondary school for your kids......You should demand it in your own floral training center! Our diploma programs are hands-on courses, where we provide you with all of the flowers, containers, supplies and materials to stylize your designs. Not every floral training is as generous with flowers, supplies and materials as we are. At Rittners Floral School you will take home every floral design that you make. Not just a few flowers at the end of the session. We feel that your time is better spent making floral art......Not recycling materials over and over. Besides which, we feel that they are your designs.....and should be taken home to be admired by your family and friends. We believe that you are entitled to value, and taking home every design you make is one way to give you that value.
