New World School of the Arts

My son is about to start his High School on New World School of the Arts. I have no personal contact with the school other than: Subject Selection and Registration meeting An email from a faculty member of the school Orientation and Final Registration meeting A phone call from the assigned counselor And these contacts have left me with the impression that we are dealing with a very professional, caring, dedicated staff and faculty focused on the academic and human formation of our children. Exactly what we are looking for in a school for our son. A good feeling so far.

(In response to the DASH advocator below) THIS YEAR'S NWSA Senior class accumulated over $16 million dollars in scholarships and also had 100% graduation rate... No other school in Miami-Dade County has a more free, expressive, accepting and inspiring atmosphere than NWSA. I am extremely proud to say that I graduated from New World School of the Arts, class of 2012. I am pursuing my dream career all thanks to this magnificent school with it's caring and encouraging teachers and administration.

if you're looking for your child, to go to an art school, you should probably choose Design and Architecture Senior High. It is an incredible experience and has such a much better atmosphere than New World. Last year the senior class accumulated $13.8 million in scholarships and had 100% graduation rate.

The school it is reanked among the best 100 high school of the nation and at the top 3 in Miami Dade. Theree is no need of sport team, the artist don't need it, they use their creativity to fill any gap that standard HS may have. The experience is unique for students and parents as well. The setting is a college enviroment, so they learn how to handled themself and prepare for the big moment after graduation. Go NWSA. We will miss you. (parent and daughter graduated 2011)

It is more than a good school, it is New World, and you have to live it, even if it is through your child's eyes.

This school has absolutely changed my life. I cannot imagine spending my time at a 'normal' school or even at a competing arts school. New World is New World, and regardless of the injustices people try to hold against it, there is no other school like it.

It's a performing arts high school fostering the future creative talents

this is a good school. the only thing is you cant have the normal 'high school experience' -football games, pep rally's, regular dances, etc

This is a school that is geared for above average students who are ready for a pre college experience. It is an excellent environment with exposure to their chosen fields in the Arts. My son attended and graduated in 2004. He was obviously bored with normal high school and from his first day at New World, his attitude changed. He was motivated and challenged. All thanks are due to the Principal and staff of New World School of the Arts. I recommend this program wholeheartedly, without reservation.

NWSA has been the best school for my 2 children. I have a senior who just graduated and will be entering one of the top schools in the country with a full tuition scholarship worth $150,000! He had several schools to choose from all with scholarship. Thanks to NWSA and their teachers the future looks great! This school promotes independence and responsible kids.

The small size of the school and classes combined with the high quality of both the arts and academic faculties makes this a terrific place to work and go to school. Students are extremely suportive of each other and care very much about their school. All music students receive private lessons as part of the curriculum and the variety of courses they have is one I wish I'd had in high school.
