New World School of the Arts Reviews

I was in the vocal performance program at NWSA and I couldn't be prouder to have been a fighting pigeon! New World is not your typical high school, there are so many talented individuals with so many different passions every corner you turn. The teachers there really care about you, your talents, your ambitions and at the end of the day, they want you to succeed. Before I attended high school I had such a hard time with being bullied and being made fun of. I use to hate going to school. I would try anything and everything to excuse myself out of school. Luckily, New World NEVER had any of that! I not once experienced anything but love and happiness from every single individual at that school, even from the people I didn't know! I will always speak highly of my high school because they truly made going to school and incredible experience!

New World is an exceptional school with a great sense of community! It offers demanding academics and arts. It has AP and honors courses and some of MDC's BFA curriculum is taught at the high school. The teachers encourage students to learn and succeed and the kids support each other. At New World, a hardworking and focused child who lives and breathes the arts will grow into an exceptional artist and person, prepared for college and life.
New World School of the arts has allowed me to find my inner self within the past 3 years. There are so many different kinds of people. You develop relationships that you have never had. Being that the school population is smaller than the average public school, everyone is much closer, like family. You know every face in the building, and that in itself, creates a sense of love and support in the atmosphere. I wouldn’t want to be attending any other school. The love you get at New World School of the Arts, is a love you get no where else. It’s a home away from home. No fights have ever occurred. Everyone is focused on their craft, whether that’s acting, dance, music, or art. Even if you’re not wanting to major in the arts for college, you still get the support you need from teachers and students.
