<p>My d's a Jr in HS and is looking to audition for the Young Americans as an alternative to the traditional BFA/BA route. The group has been in our area several times and she knew some kids that were in the program but lost touch with them. Last she heard, they were touring in Germany and Poland.<br>
Does anyone have first hand knowledge of this program/school? Their website shows a proposed campus but does it actually exist? The site also states they are seeking accreditation - how long does that process take? They also list their success stories. Are they successes solely from the program or did they further their education upon leaving the YA program?
This seems like a great opportunity to perform and travel, especially for someone who feels they're not ready for college (yet). Should I encourage my d to go for this or am I missing something?</p>
