Great school for students interested in the arts. The band program I am in is top notch! All the teachers in each art discipline are knowledgable and well-versed. A friendly environment, easy to 'find your village' of friends, and good academic course selections as well.
The dance department at School of the Arts is very poor. I ended up leaving my senior year because junior year I fractured my foot and my teacher still tried to make me dance on it, saying I would fail if I didn’t (this issue ended up getting resolved but the teachers for dance are generally not very good teachers or dancers). Academics were really challenging and prepared me very well for college. I came into my freshman year of college with enough credit hours to be considered a sophomore. However, the math department at SOA is horrible. Everyone that is at my current school that also went to SOA is struggling to keep up with college level math and science classes. All in all, SOA is truly a great school as long as you steer clear of the dance department and take math classes at Academic Magnet next door. All of the other majors have truly passionate and talented teachers that are in charge of award winning programs/organizations!
Charieston School of the Arts is an amazing school. Not only is their piano program too notch, but the academics are fantastic too. My son is blind and everybody at SOA worked so hard to make sure that he got everything he needed! Each and every teacher thought outside the box to make lessons meaningful and went the extra mile as well! We will miss SOA and we are so happy to have been a part of it while we were there! Thank you to all of you!
