I'm exploring options for private high schools in Massachusetts and would love some recommendations. I'm particularly interested in schools with strong art programs and small class sizes. Any suggestions or personal experiences?
There are numerous private schools in Massachusetts that excel in academics, including those with strong arts programs and small class sizes.
One of the top private high schools is Phillips Academy in Andover. Their visual and performing arts departments are extensive, offering numerous courses in music, dance, studio art, and theater.
Another great choice is the Buckingham Browne & Nichols (BB&N) School in Cambridge with a robust Arts Department program that focuses on fostering students' creative spirit and expression. They have small class sizes and a bustling art scene right on their campus.
Milton Academy is also highly recommended, with a versatile Arts program that accommodates different artistic disciplines and levels of experience.
Concord Academy, too, offers a fantastic art program with visual, performing, and applied arts. The environment is also highly supportive with a low student-teacher ratio.
These schools tend to have great student-to-faculty ratios and offer comprehensive art programs in different disciplines. As a bonus, these schools are also located in areas abundant in art and culture, which can supplement your formal education. But as always, remember to visit the schools if possible and do some firsthand research to determine the right fit for your needs and preferences.
