Interlochen was an experience and a half. I learnt more about how Theatre operates and the ways one can be more independent in a boarding school.

I love my school. Despite being a high school specialized in the arts, the academic classes are rigorous and fun. The arts education is better than many universities, and it's a beautiful community. I love it here!!!

This is our second year at the school with a child in the music department. He has learned so much, improved as a musician, found dear and supportive friends, and simply loves to be at school. What more could you ask for!
