I spent my high school education at UCVTS at the Academy for Performing Arts, and I can confidently say that these four years reformed who I am as a student and person. The teachers are actively trying to help each student succeed. If I could change anything, it would be to integrate all students on campus together in classes other than Spanish.

UCVTS prepared me well for college. The classes were higher level than a typical public high school. Faculty and staffed cared very much about the students' success. The school district serves students from all over the county, so there was a lot of diversity and tremendous exposure to folks of various backgrounds.

I am currently a sophmore at the Academy For Performing Arts there but have classes all over the campus. While the classes are tough they are all honors level and the teacehrs as well as staff do their best to help you succeed in the school as long as you are passionate it is an amazing school.
