Idyllwild Arts Academy Reviews
So many students have gone on to fantastic colleges, successful careers and highly enriched lives with beautiful memories for a lifetime! <3
All the staff including the academic teachers, music faculty and administration at Idyllwild are incredibly supportive. When some students couldn't make it back to campus (covid), they scheduled classes that students in Asia could take at reasonable times of the day -- adding incredible complexity for the school but trying to make life bearable for students.
