[quote=Anonymous]My kid's dream is to go to Duke Ellington. I've been digging around a bit, but I would love to hear from people who have had kids there. My kid lives and breathes her guitars and piano, but also talks about how she wants to be a lawyer. I don't care if she winds up a lawyer or not, but the thought of her becoming a 'struggling artist' and working days at a coffee shop while scrounging for evening gigs in bars just gives me the shivers. (For reference, my sisters and I are the first in our family to have college education. I don't want my kid to struggle the way others in my family have done for generations.) Is the education at Ellington up to par with, say, JR in terms of math, science, and language arts? Where do kids wind up after 4 years of specialized arts education? [/quote]
