It is said that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth – I disagree – I believe OCSA deserves that moniker. Middle school and high school can be horrible, but the staff and students at OCSA make the school a wonderful, fun, joyous experience. Except for a couple of teachers who were duds (and most of them didn’t last more than a year), the teachers are fantastic – they WANT to be at OCSA because the students are motivated and engaged.

And then there’s just the wild creativity – best day of the year is Halloween – hands down! The costumes the kids come up with are simply amazing (my all-time fave? the boy who wore a sheet with empty candy boxes, popcorn and empty soda cups stuck to it and a popcorn container on his head like a crown – he was the floor of the movie theater after the show!!!).

The principal and vice-principal, as well as the campus security, deserve special mention for making the school safe, keeping the kids just disciplined enough to keep them out of trouble but not so tight that their creativity is squelched, and for listening sensitively and acting immediately when there’s any sort of problem. All in all, OCSA is the best school I’ve ever been exposed to – I am so incredibly grateful that my daughter spent 6 years there.

My son is graduating this year after four years of an absolutely outstanding experience. Their high level of education; care, attention, support and understanding is nothing less than excellent. Add to that the conservatories that provide a cultural education and appreciation for the arts and you have a formula that is unmatched and invaluable. Yes, it is not easy to get in, students need both an academic and arts proficiency, but it is well worth a try. Students graduate and move on to top-rated colleges and universities, with the added value of an otherwise costly and rare opportunity to grow in their chosen art field.
