IN THEIR OWN WORDS
We offer the opportunity for students to earn a fully accredited Regents diploma by adopting the model of a theatre company. Our students stage classic plays and their own original works to explore the universal themes of the human experience and acquire skills and knowledge to meet the Learning Standards as outlined by the New York State Board of Regents. We believe that it is our capacity to imagine which allows us to learn. Our school addresses the challenge of teaching all subjects through the variety of disciplines that make up theatre practice. We utilize project-based learning and take it a step further by engaging students as artists-at-work.
