Objective

These courses are designed for students who wish to pursue the arts as a hobby as well as those planning a career in the fine or performing arts. Our Performing Arts courses provide a variety of experiences for all artistic backgrounds. Some of the courses are open to all students; others require a special audition or portfolio for membership. In the Visual Arts courses, students explore a variety of media and disciplines to provide them with the best studio and academic background. These courses are taught in a state-of-the-art studio environment with the finest materials and computer technology available. This curriculum emphasizes the merging of traditional techniques and media with the technology of the future.
