To be honest, your son/daughter will probably NOT like the program all the time. And if it is new to them, there may be times of not liking it more than liking it, esp. at the start.

Performing arts groups like Band and Choir are not Extra-Curricular. These are academic classes with the same 'weight' in educational terms as any science or math class. Their brains will develop in different ways and that will take work.

We do our best to try to make each of the programs fun and challenging to each member of the group. And most students to stick through the program for the entire year find that they enjoy the program and establish relationships with others in their group and do want to continue. However, if you as a parent aren't commited to pushing through and helping them see the bigger picture and work to establish the connection to the program and the importance of developing the cognitive processes that only performance arts can provide, then it might not be the right program for your family.

If you're still not sure and want to talk about specific concerns related to your family and participating in the program, we are here and would love to connect with you about this. Just use the Contact Us link above to start the conversation.
