[quote=Anonymous]OK, enough from people with no experience already. It's a school of the arts. No, academics is not secondary, but it shares the same importance. That's what a school of arts is. It's not a school with an arts program, it is the major focus with the intent of building students who can walk into their field of art right away or seek higher education. You get two diplomas and you take ten classes per semester, so colleges look upon the work ethic very favorably, especially conservatories and major colleges with arts programs. As for being shy, you should know that the most outstanding musician who gradated last year was both blind and in a wheelchair. It's an arts school, which by default means kids are incredibly supportive of other students because they all had to have a basic level of great talent to enter. That said, DO NOT consider it if you're just looking for a good school with arts because your kid likes to play. It's not that place.[/quote]
