Since the 2014-2015 season, the program has grown fast enough and large enough to send students to study and practice theatre, film, and performing arts at the collegiate level at great schools, colleges and universities, some which are included below. The students were accepted not only because of their artistic talents, but also their dedication, discipline, and success across their entire academic course load.
