Performing Arts Program – Industry-Level Training

Starbright Academy’s Performing Arts Program offers professional training in acting, dance, and musical theatre for students ages 11–18. Designed for aspiring performers, our flexible academic program, which includes a fully accredited homeschool curriculum, supports auditions, rehearsals, and touring—without compromising academic progress.

Program Overview

Focused Disciplines

Intensive training programs in Acting, Dance, and Musical Theatre. Students can focus on their main discipline while cross-training in others to become versatile performers.

Flexible, Quality Academics

A fully accredited academic curriculum (middle and high school) that meets state and national standards, tailored to each student’s pace and delivered in innovative, flexible formats. No matter where their arts career takes them, credits and diplomas are recognized by colleges.

Professional Faculty

Classes taught by experienced performers, choreographers, directors, and educators. Students learn from people who have worked on stages and sets, bringing real-world insight to every lesson.

Holistic Approach

Equal emphasis on scholastic achievement and artistic growth. We don’t view academics and arts as separate silos – they inform and enrich each other, keeping students intellectually stimulated and creatively inspired every day.

Curriculum & Schedule

Integrating Arts and Academics

At Starbright, students follow a flexible schedule with academics in the morning and professional arts training in the afternoon—customized to their discipline and pace. When auditions, rehearsals, or bookings arise, we adjust class times and assignments to ensure they stay on track academically without missing opportunities.

Our college-prep academics include a fully accredited curriculum, designed specifically for artists—blending creative projects with core subjects to keep learning relevant and engaging. By coordinating with arts faculty and flexing around performance schedules, we ensure students excel in both school and their craft without burnout.

At Starbright, students progress through academics at their own pace—with small class sizes, one-on-one support, and a flexible, mastery-based approach integrated into their daily schedule. By aligning study time with arts training, we reduce late-night homework stress and help students avoid burnout—so they can thrive both academically and artistically.
