Interlochen is the best thing that happen on my life. I come from a country were the arts are not valued, and I always dreamed to be a succesfull animator. Interlochen listened to my story, and helped me secure a career in the US. Interlochen gave me experience, lots of connections, and most importatly, hope. I will never forget what Interlochen did for me, and I will always be grateful.

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!
