Testimonials from our Community
“ACT is such an enriching experience for our scholars. They currently provide the Acting and Choir programs here at Academy Prep; the kids look forward to these classes each week. Our scholars in acting are progressing the fundamentals of character building which is directly cultivating a collaborative environment for our scholars to thrive in! Choir has been a joy for the scholars as they are learning how to truly use their vocal instrument - they have even been given the opportunity to sing off campus. Overall, we love the ACT program as staff and a student body. We enjoy having ACT in the Academy Prep family!”
—Ken Watson, Dean of Student Life at Academy Prep St. Petersburg
“ACT has really done so much for me as a person, not only an artist. It really had me step out of my shell on the stage and step out of my shell in real life too.”
“The Arts Conservatory for Teens works. It is giving children a dream, a chance, and a hope.”
“As I’m performing I just feel a lift and I’m in a totally different zone. ACT helped me to cultivate my gifts and talents and share them with the world.”
“I’ve had the opportunity to see these young people performing. You see the passion that they bring and that makes me feel good because I know they are on the right track.”
