Pioneered with an independent study format, The Academy ensures students can soar and hone their skills seamlessly. The curriculum involves intensive classes, interactive workshops, and hands-on rehearsals in three primary areas: music, dance, and acting.
Every student is assured a role, whether a lead, supporting, or ensemble part, aligning with their current capabilities as they carve their unique style.
The results are evident as students employ techniques, culminating in a riveting performance of a full-scale Broadway-style show at the season’s end — a testament to their perseverance and dedication.
