[quote=Anonymous]I guess you’ve learned an important lesson about reading a course catalog, meeting actual teachers of classes that are critical to your child’s school experience, and attending events of critical interest during the application period.

It seems like you should have been able to learn a lot of this information before your daughter enrolled. Like, how was it possible you thought there were dance class offerings when there aren’t?

Visual arts are my child’s passion. It was a deciding factor in the school choice. We spoke with multiple members of the visual arts departments at both schools we were deciding between, attended art events and musicals (DC is also interested in tech theatre), looked very closely at the different art courses offered and at how feasible it would be to take them based on schedules.

Professionals who were “inspired” by their time in high school a decade or more ago are an irrelevant data point, and even current admin aren’t better to speak to than the actual teaching staff. How did you not learn that they had so few full time performing art staff? That should be right on the website.

Due diligence is important. [/quote]
