The school does everything it can to be the best, and fit to the student’s fittings. While being able to help students graduate easily and get to the careers they want, by setting up private meetings with counsellors. I’m a student at this school still, and it’s wonderful, with tons of activities and volunteering fun, clubs, many art courses such as guitar, band, choir, digital art, visual arts, sculpting, theatre, improv, musical theatre, dance and many more. Even hosting monthly theatre shows, where students can volunteer to help with being an actor, or the opportunity to be a helper with tech or makeup, costumes and such. Every teacher is nice, and will only be strict if you push them far enough (as it is for every adult). If you needed help with a Core class, or you didn’t understand it, they will gladly walk you through it and help you get a better score. Our reading and math and science statistics have been improving by a ton, and our school is the first to do so. We host a Open Mic, a big get-together for kids to show off any form of art that they like in front of a crowd on a stage, and similar events like Arts Nignt and spotlight. They have a ton of support with stuff like GSA (Gender Sexuality Alliance) and can easily help you change your name, and many of the students are accepting and all teachers are. They have elevators, ramps, classes for disabled students, and treat everyone kindly, you’ll fit in perfectly in this school

In 2021 to 2022, there were some very caring teachers, assistant admin, nurse, behavioral specialist and outside counseling contractors. I would not, however, recommend this school if your child will need to go through any special education identification services. Principal and a few teachers ant the school presented as indifferent and avoidant. We were told by the principal they didn't have the resources to ensure physical location and safety of students. And: that may be true. This may be a good choice if your child has few needs and is in high school, though. Good variety of arts class offerings, though only one visual arts teacher, strangely, for an arts school.
