Our son just graduated and had a great experience, 7-12th grade. He was accepted or wait-listed at 12 of the 14 colleges he applied to (only 1 "safety" in the bunch), and had a number of very highly rated schools to pick from, along with multiple academic scholarship awards.
The school community gave him a safe place to just be himself, and for that I am eternally grateful. High school can be brutal for kids who are gender non-conforming or otherwise "different" -- CSArts allowed him to thrive and graduate with his enthusiasm, quirks, and immensely caring, beautiful heart still in tact. Hallelujah!
The most important thing for our family in choosing CSArts was the challenging academic program. Even with a tremendous arts conservatory, more traditional academic subjects were NOT compromised. Lots of honors and AP options! Our very talented "theater kid" is off to study STEM at a highly rated research university that will let him keep up his arts training -- a phenomenal result.

My daughter is entering into her sophomore year this Fall, and I could not be more thrilled with the school. Previously, she had been in extended home schooling following the Covid 19 pandemic and related issues with anxiety. When she re-entered in-person schooling I had a lot of concerns on her behalf, as following the academic portion of the curriculum, students at CS Arts-SGV spend an additional two hours in "conservatory," making for a long day. But! She has absolutely thrived in this environment. The teachers are engaged and completely invested in their students. The campus is beautiful and the culture of the school, is one of inclusivity and excellence. I can't recommend this school highly enough!
I'm really happy with my experience at this school! I've only been here for a year, but it's been an amazing year filled to the brim with learning and growth, both in academics and art. From what I've seen from the community (and there's a strong sense of community) here, there is little to no negative judging or discrimination. My teachers have all been so kind, encouraging, and supportive. The administrators work really hard to keep campus safe and things running smoothly.
I'm learned more about the possibility and interconnectedness of art than I would anywhere else, and in the process, I learned more about myself as a person and bonded with others who share a passion and a knack for the arts. I love how all of us are brought together and connected through art, and how we're able to cross paths with people we would never have found otherwise.
