Areas of Study
A conservatory is a specialized program of study that allows students to focus deeply on a specific area of the arts while still completing their regular high school requirements. Much like professional training schools for artists, musicians, writers, and performers, conservatories give students the chance to immerse themselves in their chosen discipline, develop their skills, and prepare for future opportunities in college and careers. Students in a conservatory don’t just take regular classes—they become part of a focused, supportive community of young artists who are challenged to grow creatively, academically, and professionally.
