“We see the power of a disciplined arts program and how it can change a child’s life every day. Over the last ten years, 100% of our graduates have gone on to college, and numerous scholarship students receive full tuition to college. Universities are recognizing that students who have participated in a focused arts program are valuable additions to their schools.”
