You want what’s best for your child, including choosing the best high school. However, for some parents that choice can be tough, especially when it comes to choosing an academic-arts-focused high school.
Don’t worry. At Burlington Royal Arts Academy, we understand that choosing the right high school is a big decision. We also know that some parents might wonder if art school is worth it. Let Burlington Royal Arts Academy (BRAA) take the stress out of deciding. We can help you understand what makes our academic-arts-focused high school the right choice for your child.
Why is it Important to Choose the Right High School?
High school isn’t just a place that teens go to during the day. It’s the place that’s going to shape who they become, in partnership with their families. When you choose BRAA, you’re choosing a place that feels like home, no matter where home is. We provide a space that is nurturing and safe. High school is a time of self-discovery, growth, and learning to make decisions that impact the future, and we are here to support and guide your student through this phase of life so that when they attend post-secondary, they are ready.
Choosing the right high school sets students up on the path that’s going to carry them through to their post-secondary pursuits and beyond. No pressure, right? So, while choosing a high school is challenging, deciding between a regular public high school and an academic-arts-focused private high school can be even more confusing, daunting, and difficult. Luckily BRAA has a great team that can are ready and eager to support you.

What Do the Students Learn at Art School?
There is a myth that students who attend art school in Ontario are art student stereotypes who spend their days wrist-deep in watercolours or acting out the best scenes from Hamlet. At Burlington Royal Arts Academy, quite the opposite is true. There is a heavy focus on the entire Ontario academic curriculum, including business studies, French, English, and maths. Students who show more aptitude in academics over arts have a place at Burlington Royal Arts Academy. For these students, we encourage art classes as a supplement to their education. Other students come for the arts-focused education and balance their academic pursuits alongside their artistic passions. These students generally declare a major area of study within their art, but they can explore other areas for which they’ve shown aptitude but may not yet have been exposed.
Is Art School Limiting?
We’ve had parents express concerns that choosing an art school may be limiting. They worry that their student may not get accepted at the post-secondary institution of their choice or that they won’t be career-ready later in life. Thankfully those fears are unfounded. At BRAA, we are prepared to support your student’s pursuit of arts while ensuring that they receive approved Ontario curriculum academic instruction that is equivalent to what they would learn in a non-arts-focused school environment. In fact, our students are uniquely advantaged by our smaller class sizes and small, supportive team of academic professionals.
When you choose Burlington Royal Arts Academy, you’ll enjoy all of the benefits that come along with private education coupled with the amazing experience of attending an arts-based academic high school.
