Ocvts-Navy Lakehurst Center

I wrote a review in 2006 when my daughter had graduated and my son was applying to PAA. He graduated this past June as a vocal major and immediately got a full time job in Orlando Florida at the Holyland Experience as an actor/singer. She chose to pursue college, he entered the entertainment field right away. PAA prepared them both beautifully. My 15 year old daughter is now a sophomore in the acting program. I LOVE this school, the teachers and the administration. I have nothing but praise for the Ocean County Performing Arts Academy....

The Performing Arts Academy (PAA of OCVTS) is a fabulous school! My daughter is a sophomore acting major and couldn't be happier! The teachers here LOVE their jobs! They support their students both in and out of the classroom. This school is academically challenging and difinitely college prep. There are many opportunities to volunteer, learn, and to grow. I highly recommend this school!

The best kept secret in Ocean County. Imagine that! a high school with normal curriculum but also dedicated to training in the arts; voice, dance, and acting. Not only that but the teacher to student ratio is great; something like 6 to 1 (student to teacher)

My daughter graduated from the Performing Arts Academy this past spring (2006) She had been in the acting program and is now in college pursuing her BA in theatre arts. This school was a wonderful choice for her. She was able to thrive in the smaller class settings. The curriculum is challenging and definately prepares them for college level work. I would recommend this program to anyone who is serious about the arts. My son is applying to the school for entrance this coming September!

This is a wonderful school. My daughter is a dancer and loves it here. The school offers a great atmosphere along with a great teaching program. The classes are smaller and the teachers really care. I wouldn't want my child to go any place else.

I am very pleased with how well my son has done in his first year in this school.He started as a 10th grade student who was having a very hard time finding sucess at his home school(BTHS). The teachers and staff staff at CTI have gone above and beyond what they had to do to help my son suceed. I am very pleased with the progress he has made in his 1st year at this school. He now looks foward to going to school,and he has become a very happy young man.I truely believe this school has saved my son from becoming a high school dropout.We are looking foward to his 11th grade year with new confidence that he will continue to learn and grow and most importantly be happy.
