Summer residential programs for New York State high school students which provide intensive pre-professional training with internationally acclaimed artists and artistic companies. It's an intense and exciting residential participatory learning experience held each summer. It's open to all New York State high school age students who qualify through audition. Tuition assistance is available. No students who qualify will be denied NYSSSA's opportunities just because they can't afford the tuition. Eight component schools offer training in the specific disciplines of ballet, choral studies, dance, jazz studies, media arts, orchestral studies, theatre and visual arts. NYSSSA artistic staff are internationally acclaimed artists and/or performing arts companies such as the New York City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra. NYSSSA provides young artists a unique opportunity to experience the discipline and rigors of their chosen arts field. Students work in small groups with their instructors. Often NYSSSA students are scheduled for one-on-one sessions with professionals in their arts discipline. Students experience the daily life of top professional artists while working with students of similar ability. NYSSSA student artists are highly talented people who represent the wide diversity of ethnic, social, cultural and economic background of all New Yorkers.
