<p>Welcome to CC! Bottom line is all grades count. These schools spend millions of dollars in building their Arts & Music facilities followed up with hundreds of thousands in maintaining the buildings and acquiring boasting rights. They’re proud of their Arts & Music accomplishments and rightfully so. I can guarantee that those departments will play a big part in all the tours, or should. Many students get involved in lighting or stage building. My oldest guy ended up playing the trombone, handbells and theater all bought on by the influential teachers that you’ll find at these boarding schools. The Arts & Academics go hand in hand at most Boarding Schools and your guy just needs the particular teacher to stir his interest.</p>
