School of the Arts

I am a 7th grader and i have had the most amazing time that i ever had at any other school, this is the school that i always dreamed of going to and i got in i am a band major and it is really amazing, you might think that our school has a lot of gay people because o how we act but only a few people in this school are gay, you also might think that we are a very mean school but we really are not i hope that some people can see how amazing our school is and u may think of joining our family!

This is a fantastic city school devoted to academic breadth and accuity through a focus on the arts.

I am a 7th grader at this school and in my oppinion, i love it here and would never want to go any where else. This is the school i'v always dreamed of going too. We need more schools that take part in out performing arts programs, we need more people in this city with talents where they succeed and make a living with. piano, voice, theater tech, drama, creative writing, dance, visual arts, and instrumental. I am a vocal major and I am determined to make it big on braodway with the help i'm getting from School of The Arts. =]

My daughter transferred from a private school and she LOVES SOTA!!! The opportunities are far greater here, the teachers are supportive, the building is incredible and the student body is kind and accepting! I only wish we would have started sooner!

I'm currently a Senior of School of the Arts, I've benn attending this school since 9th grade. I love Sota, beacuse its a unique school, I've been with the same students since 9th grade year. Me and my class groiwn together, and that what i like. There was not a bunch of new students every year, just the same people you bunded with in middle school. Sota is an very independent study school. In class you recieve a lot of indepent project, especially in your major. I'm a visual Arts major and we recieve up to 2 projects in one marking period.

I'm currently a sophmore at SOTA, and have very few bad things to say about the place, if any. Since coming here in the 7th grade, I have been greeted warmly by the teachers and staff. I've found that the student body is much much more open to different people, and accepting people from different cliques than most other schools. They have a great balance of regular acedemics and the actual 'arts' aspect of your career here. Go SOTA!

SOTA is the best city school in Rochester. The people are nice and the teachers really care. There are so many activities and it's a great school if you want to explore your major.

I went to SOTA for grades 9-12. It was an amazing experience that I will always carry with me. I had amazing teachers who took time to know me and great friends that I can still count on..
