[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the replies! I think what I'm envisioning doesn't quite exist -- I'd love for there to be a high school where kids do theatre, singing, or dance production as part of the school day and not necessarily as an after-school add-on. Not looking for "Fame" level performing arts education, but something more than extracurricular. My understanding of the Blair magnet is that it is focused on communications/journalism and arts in terms of writing or photojournalism. My understanding of private schools (including GDS, where we are currently), is that they have good dramatic productions and a few classes here or there, but it is not a focus area.[/quote]

Edmund Burke for sure.  They have tons of arts electives (music, theater, and visual arts).  They require a certain number of arts credits (7 trimester credits in the high school curriculum) for graduation.[/quote]

The Burke approach works well in performing arts because some kids are good enough to end up at places like Berklee School of Music and other kids are just getting started, and they often end up performing on the same stage.  The no cut policy means that everyone gets a chance.  [/quote]
