学院 experience consists of three critically important components: rigorous academic study and professional arts training, in the context of a world-class school culture, all overlapping to form our “educational model”.

艺术

Since its inception in 1981, 学院 has provided a 首页。 to serious young artists inspired to test the limits of their potential. Our students 是 immersed in 3-5 hours of daily arts training in one of six disciplines: Dance, Media 艺术 (filmmaking, 动画, 与写的能力), 音乐, 音乐剧, 剧院, 及视觉艺术.

Academy alums attend the best arts colleges, 大学, and conservatories, from USC and Cal艺术 to NYU and Juilliard, and everywhere in between. (They 是 often supported financially by their schools as well: The 113 students comprising the classes of 2017-2019 collectively earned over $25 million in college scholarships.) Alums include Grammy winners, 百老汇明星, principal dancers, award-winning filmmakers, critically acclaimed artists, and many hundreds of other successful arts professionals.

学者们

While 学院 is famous for its arts programs, our academic coursework is just as powerful. Students engage deeply in courses designed to develop critical thinking skills across a broad array of subjects, 包括 Women’s Literature, AP Computer Science, 全球事务, Business and the 艺术, 世界宗教, 据美联社统计, 哲学, 还有更多.

Realizing that their Academy education opens a variety of doors for them beyond high school, nearly 1/3 of Academy alums pursue non-arts paths after graduation, from business to physics to computer science and everything in between. Alums include entrepreneurs, 律师, 博士学位的, 物理学家, and other professionals in a wide variety of c是ers.

学院 Community

We often say that there is nothing more important here than our community. Academy students and faculty alike 是 characterized by their passion, sense of purpose, and pursuit of excellence, and thus everyone at 学院 is deeply invested in being here. (In fact, for decades the most common word used to describe 学院 is “首页。”.) It is a special privilege to be surrounded, 每一天, by peers and mentors who have made the decision to be a part of this place. In fact, our students 是 never at 学院, they 是 学院, and that identity eliminates so much of what is typically negative about the high school experience.
