It is an amazing school with many opportunities and a good teacher-student relationship. May have wanted more science focused subject but has best schooling experience I have ever witnessed.

I really liked my time at ACPA, but the final senior project is kind of confusing to me. I really wish I secured an internship, but that's okay. I would recommend ACPA to anyone who loves the arts and wants a good educational experience.

But then again, it is an art school and not the main focus. But overall, it's a very inclusive school.

The teachers and staff are incredibly w...
