Welcome to The School for Young Performers.

The School for Young Performers is the ultimate balance between a full life schedule and a rigorous and enriching academic experience. Highly qualified teachers work one-on-one with students wherever they are and whatever their commitments. SYP is ideal for young performers with busy rehearsal schedules, students with complex travel plans or families that want their children taught at home.

Students at The School for Young Performers create a class schedule specifically complementary to their other obligations. Middle and high school students may collaborate with instructors on the design of new courses to help further professional development as well as explore intriguing and, sometimes, daunting subject matter. School credit may also be acquired for time spent in the arts and/or sports, and these credits are typically applicable toward graduation requirements.

SYP’s academic deans and teachers are steadfast in their commitment to the success of each student, from K through 12 as well as the college admissions process, and our staff works diligently to establish and sustain a seamless experience for our families, educators and, in some cases, companies. Thus, students receive an optimal education while maintaining their professional obligations with the necessary support and guidance they deserve.

Students at The School for Young Performers have the world as their classroom, which, inherently, is a brilliant opportunity! Traveling and field trips are encouraged, and, with a worldwide canvas, experiential learning can be taken to the limit. Why not seize the moment to traipse around Paris while discussing the French Revolution or go to the Moderna Museet for a research paper on Andy Warhol while recording in Stockholm? Through direct interaction with the world around them and the pursuit of their passions, our students benefit academically, socially and professionally. It is astonishing for me, as an educator, parent and artist, to witness and facilitate the fruition of their aspirations!

The School for Young Performers is a school without walls and strives for every student to take advantage of this open concept. Please enjoy exploring our website, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Iris M Even
