The Academy @ Metropolitan School of the Arts offers a cutting-edge performing arts program in response to the increasingly competitive landscape for college acceptance and professional work.
Created for the recent high school graduate, our Training Program allows students to focus on in-depth artistic preparation before entering a performing arts college, university, conservatory or professional company. Guided by professional teaching artists, collegiate level faculty and nationally recognized guest artists, the training culminates in a showcase that is recorded and available for students’ portfolios.
Located just outside Washington, DC, the second-largest performing arts community in the country, Metropolitan School of the Arts offers an ideal place to train alongside the finest working artists and clinicians.
While concentrations in Classical Dance and Music Theatre are offered, all students train in a cross-curricular and individualized manner. Based on assessment, students will be placed in the appropriate levels for each discipline and for maximum growth.
