Our son received an excellent high school education at this prestigious grade 7-12 public charter…read moreschool. The teachers are top in their fields and experts leading the after-school arts component for 17 diverse conservatories across five distinct schools are equally impressive. This is a highly sought after institution for good reason: their outstanding college readiness scores tell the story.
This is a demanding school but it is also highly creative and inclusive, encouraging a culture of collaboration as well as independence. Students build skills that will use the rest of their lives, developing important friendships along the way as they learn and create.
While we enjoyed the work and performances of all 17 specialties, the Popular Music and Culinary Arts conservatories were especially close to our hearts. We attended performances for music, dance and theater, thoroughly enjoyed the "Throw Down" in the Culinary and Hospitality Conservatory and bid on a number of art works during our time there.
For parents, there are opportunities to get involved while attending special events throughout the year. It truly is a very special place.
At the end of his four years there, our teen applied and was accepted into the college of his dreams. We literally could not have done it without OCSA. We highly recommend this school and encourage interested families to check out their summer programs, attend a preview day or simply call the school.
