<p>We are considering sending our daughter to Interlochen for the visual arts program (Grade 10-12). It looks great from the web site. </p>
<p>Three questions however:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Most of what we've read about the school focuses on the music program. Is the Visual Arts program of similar high caliber or just a tag along?</p></li>
<li><p>Our daughter is an visual artist with a gift, she is not an academic. We are thoroughly confident that she would flourish as an artist, but are the academics significantly rigorous to kill the confidence of an artist - you know - like a typical high school would?</p></li>
<li><p>How is the Visual Arts program at Interlochen viewed by schools like RISD and Parsons?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for any response. It looks like a fantastic school! We are so glad to have found it.</p>
