Fine & Performing Arts Academy
Co-Curricular and Extra Curricular Experiences
College and/or professional experience will take place during all four years with the following examples:
- Perform in Metropolitan Youth Orchestra Nassau Suffolk Performing Arts (Performance Demonstration)
- Participate in Master Experiences
- Participate in Nassau County and New York State Ensembles
- After-School Ensembles and Productions
- Long Island University Partnership Courses
- Long Island University Partnership Internship Experience (Shadow Day)
The Fine & Performing Arts Academy will allow our students to explore and refine their specific skills and interests in the arts. There are four distinct concentration paths that will allow our students to best prepare for post-secondary readiness in their given artistic career:
- Performing Arts
- Fine Arts
- Digital Design
- Dramatic Arts
A key component of the academy experience is for each student to maintain and be recognized for their out of school participation in artistic events, such as NYSSMA festivals, art exhibitions, musicals and drama productions. These experiences are key real-world developmental components to the refinement of what students are learning in curricular courses. Students will also experience shadow days connected to the Long Island University School of Performing Arts or School of Visual Arts, Communications and Digital Technologies and opportunities to collaborate with professional musicians and artists (master classes), which will allow them to develop a sense of the next steps in their artistic career.
