ARTS HIGH SCHOOL
High School of Performing Arts
(Year 7 - 12)
Arts High School is committed to providing a program that produces well rounded and highly developed individuals who seek a comprehensive academic education complimented by practical training in performing arts.
Our full-time high school students are enrolled in a registered educational provider, Virtual School Victoria. It is the largest State Government school allowing access to the curriculum set by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) online. VSV is widely used across Australia for gifted students who want to invest in supplementary education and training, like performing arts, while completing the standard Victorian curriculum.
We provide a safe and purposeful environment which students can confidently explore and engage with both an artistic and academic education. Currently, in the State of Victoria, there is no training institution that offers a high-school program like ours. While other performance schools focus on one particular creative discipline, we train our young students to be skilled in all facets of the performing arts industry.
Upon completion, Arts High School students have a broad range of skills to give them a head start in our full-time performing arts tertiary courses.
- Arts High School creates a conventional school environment ensuring students can study with optimal focus and minimal disruption.
- Arts High School allocates a total of 3 hours a day for academic study. For VCE students (Yr 11 & 12) there is also optional additional study hours. Our students can efficiently complete their academic studies during this period without any issues.
- Students will have access to a range of online material provided by VSV. Text and reference books are required for most subjects.
- Students may be required to attend some academic seminars, online lessons or practical sessions depending on their choice of subjects.
- Arts High School offers supervisors on site at the studios. Our staff create a conventional school environment, and are able to offer face-to-face assistance. Staff on site are familiar with the content of all units of study and will ensure work is submitted on time, to the best of our students ability, and in accordance with the rules set by the VCAA and the VSV.
- The performing arts program that completes the curriculum includes training in Acting, Singing, Ballet, Contemporary, Lyrical, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Musical theatre and Conditioning. Please download the prospectus below for further information.
