Music. Specifically violin. Do you think the choice of discipline would influence whether she goes there or not?

Thank you for your response!!

Did you complete the IB program?

The sentiment you shared about being very prepared for college is one we’ve heard a lot. Did you ever feel like that preparation came at a price? Like, was it very stressful studying in that rigorous of an environment?

This is a wonderful response. Thank you so much.

What would you say are the pros and cons of the music department?

Also, when you went to BSA, did you know it was the place for you? Or were you faced with a similar choice with a another high school? What factored into your decision?

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

One big question we have about BSA is how beholden are the kids to their area of focus? Like, if they’re there to study music, how free or limited are they to take an acting or studio art class?

Did you and your daughter love having an area of focus, or was it ever limiting?

Thanks so much for your response. You’re one of the few who have had a kid go to each school, so your perspective is really valuable.

Did your BSA kid fall out of love because of their own growth and evolution or because of the program?

What kind of theater did your City kid do?
