Students at LaGuardia Arts are an amazing conglomeration of what New York is, a melting pot of academic abilities, cultures and artistic talents. We are so fortunate to have a dual mission which supports students' traditional academic learning while nurturing their talents and gifts. Students attend our school from all over New York City - some with very little exposure to the arts, some from "industry" families with experience on the stage and tv, and some from poverty stricken neighborhoods. All of them, though, are talented artists. Our school provides conservatory curriculum in dance, visual art, drama, music, and theater. I do everything I can to incorporate the arts in our lessons. Technology helps with this through video making platforms, YouTube, PowerPoint presentations, and many other educational tools.
