It is a school like no other. A place where you are free to be the real you and are free from judgment. It is one big family at this school.
Its more than just a regular school, its more than a community, its a family. The talent surpasses any schoool in America. There is so much passion and love for the arts at Laguardia. The school is filled with every race, every culture, and every style. Its a school where hundreds of unique individuals come together to develop a powerful voice.
The worlds most gifted and talanted students attend that school and when they graduate they are focoused and sure of what they've been groomed to do. Love it
Its gotten me to amazing places and always pushed me, and now im studying at london college of fashion. Laguardia prepares you for the real world, weather it be in nyc or overseas.
LaGuardia High School is the best school in the city if you are interested in pursuing a career in art in the future. Those four years were one of the best experiences in my life, one that i will never forget. It's not your typical high school with your typical students, its an art center, a melting pot for creative ideas and great talent.
This school offers such a wide variety of chooses in the arts. It makes kids feel welcomed and gets them well prepared for thier journey of to college. It makes males dancers feel like they can acheieve anything. It's a great school to start off your goal to become a dancer.
People may not realize that high grades as well as artistic talent are needed to get into LaG. Students are highly intellectual and unparalleled in Artistic talents. LaGuardia is an amazing all-encompassing experience.
LaG is the best High School in America. The school in and of itself is a wonderful example of embracing diversity. Kids from all walks of life walked through its hallways. It was not about petty cliques or the haves and the have nots. It was ok to be different and express yourself. There were no judgements which at that time in life is a wonderful thing. All of my memories of that school are beautiful.
I love the Excitment! Amazing people and unbelievable amount of Energy. Laguardia is the center of fun and Entertainment and No school can top that. Teachers, students... I consider and everybody considers it a second home. I love my school
There are the most talented teachers, students, and deans at LaGuardia. Because of the dual curriculum students are required to balance a full academic day as well as 3 to 4 periods of the art that they love. EVERYTHING that the students create from plays to paintings, from symphonies to sets, from ballads to ballets, and everything in between is full of passion and hard work. The shows of all mediums are better than most professional work and the students are driven not only by self-motivation but school spirit as well. It isn't called the 'Fame' school for nothing.
So far LaGuardia is where I spent the best years of my life and it has helped shape me into the strong, outgoing, and motivated person I am today. '07
I love that my kid loves it! I love the opportunities the kids get at Laguardia and that it's such a challenge both academically and artistically...these kids are pushed to their limits, they grow and they are part of a vibrant community. My daughter is making life-long friendships here as well.
La Guardia was a great place, so many great memories and friends! Wouldn't trade my experience there ever!
Because they strive to give students a life changing artistic experience along with a top notch academic education.
