In addition to individualized career and college counseling, members are also guaranteed one performance opportunity each year to build their resume.

“Your conservatory program stands alone in its ability to embrace students, nurture the development of the whole actor, and provide a platform where dreams are always attainable. The conservatory is more than my child’s acting class...students leave the classroom stronger young people every time.” –College Bound Conservatory Parent.
