★★★★★A VBest school in the entire state with amazing teachers staff and leadership. It's a difficult school to get into and there is tuition for the students since it is a residential school but is minute in comparison with private schools that do not have residential dorms.
★★★★★Christopher DoggettBeautiful campus and facility and staff are outstanding.
★★★★★sean c.Amazing staff! My daughter loved going to their summer programs.
★★★★★Alex ColeyWent here for two years as a Visual Arts student. Can confidently say I’ve developed a ton of lifelong friendships, was more prepared than my college classmates for life away from home, and the mentorship from the teachers is unparalleled. Yes, there’s drama and cliques, but it’s easy enough to avoid if you’re passionate about what you do and keep your head on straight. There’s very little I’d trade those years for. If I could make one change it would be to advertise it more widely, because large portions of the state don’t know about it. If you’re reading this and are/know someone who is eligible to apply, I highly recommend you shoot your shot.
★Kimberly WalkerMy dancer attended this school for a year and a half. She was targeted by students in the theater program. When she stood up for herself the head of the school and the VP of administration strategically used the school resource officer to intimidate my daughter and our family. They suspended my daughter but not the group of kids who were targeting her — they were, coincidentally, a homogeneous, majority group. Upon our exit (they said she could stay if she served a 10 day suspension (as a student with 4 AP classes) and apologized to her bullies) the school leadership — head of school, VP of academic affairs, and cop — tried to block her enrollment into our local public school. We had to contact our state rep to get her enrolled. In short, this is a performing arts school for mediocre performers from high income families who are tired of paying the Au Pair.
