Tara is such a special place. After trying various educational experiences for my child, we've found a home. She is excited to attend classes and activities, adores her instructors and the Tara staff, and is having a lot of fun. I'm grateful a school like this exists and that we have access to it. Only issue is lack of diversity but it's a sacrifice we are willing to make right now.

Tara is a truly magical place. Throughout my time at Tara I was surrounded by inspiration and passion, coming from every student and teacher. Each student was and is given the love and support they need, the school is unafraid to make accommodations to make every students time easier and fit better to them. Tara is a place of exploration, it is a place to find others, yourself and the world around you. I wouldn't trade my time at Tara for anything.

A tip : there is a tendency to showcase and re-showcase the students who are already the best at acting, singing, and dancing. My tip is to advocate for yourself, especially with advance warning of what you want. The students who advocate for themselves tend to get their needs met. I've seen it happ...
