I was attracted to the North Carolina School of the Arts because of its commitment to excellence, its one-on-one training for students and its alumni successes. The education they received – and that you will receive – is second to none. The North Carolina School of the Arts has established a reputation as the premier institution for advanced and comprehensive study in the arts beginning at the high school level and continuing through the graduate level. Within the faculties are recognized professionals, scholars, educators and practitioners. Studies in general education and specialized courses will excite and motivate students given the small class size, the quality of the faculty, and the professional focus in the arts schools. We enhance that experience with more than 300 performances annually and with numerous guest artists and our resident companies. Many of our Dance, Drama, Film and Music students extend their education through trips to New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Europe as part of their education at NCSA. Our Design & Production students boast one of the highest placement rates in an industry where dozens of companies compete for students as they approach graduation. I think you will find the facilities on campus to be some of the best in the country. In fact, in some disciplines, they are the best. We are adding new facilities and renovating existing facilities to enhance your experience and to showcase your talents. The campus is student-friendly and its mission is to provide quality service, safety and, ultimately the highest level of education in the arts available anywhere. There will be many challenges for you along the way because we expect the best. If you have talent, commitment and enthusiasm, then the North Carolina School of the Arts is the best place on earth for you to be. This school offers you a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are delighted that you have selected NCSA to pursue advanced study in the arts. Where else will you find students singing in the cafeteria, performing in the hallways, dancing in the streets, filming in the community and regularly collaborating across art disciplines? This is a special place and you will sense the excitement, dedication and professionalism the moment you enter your first class.
