Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA)
High school students from Nassau and Suffolk counties with dreams of becoming actors, dancers, playwrights, painters, sculptors, musicians, filmmakers, singers or lighting designers are encouraged to audition for the Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA), voted “Best Arts School” by the Long Island Press.
Part of the public school system, LIHSA is conveniently located at a state-of-the-art facility in Syosset where students in grades 9-12 have the opportunity to attend either a half- or full-day program. Students receive professional-level training in art, dance, drama, theatre technology, instrumental or vocal music, musical theatre, film or playwriting each day as a supplement to their regular course of study. Students can compose and create original works in the school’s cutting-edge Digital Media and Production Lab. Students can compose music and create digital works and portfolios. Teens who exercise the half-day option spend part of the day at LIHSA and the remainder of their time in their home district completing academic requirements. Students who elect the full-day option complete all requirements for obtaining their Regents or advanced Regents diploma at LIHSA.
A broad spectrum of opportunities is available to students interested in studying the arts. A staff consisting of practicing professional artists prepares the students for auditions, helps with portfolio selections and steers students toward specialized awards and honors. More than 98 percent of the graduates go on to colleges or conservatories. Students from the class of 2010 received more than $8 million in scholarships and grants, and are now attending some of the most prestigious schools, including Parsons School of Art and Design, Boston Conservatory, Carnegie Mellon, New England Conservatory, Rhode Island School of Design, New York University, The Tisch School for the Arts and the Steinhardt School (just to name a few).
Auditions are being held now through June. Interested students entering grades 9–12 for the 2012-13 school year can obtain applications and audition requirements from their guidance counselors or on the LIHSA web site www.lihsarts.org
