Conservatory Prep Schools: A Place Where You Can Just Be Yourself Imagine- Going to school everyday where you are appreciated for just being you. Where your ideas are encouraged and your passions fostered by teachers and fellow classmates.
Imagine- A day where you begin by being welcomed by your friends and teachers, followed by writing a play or a song in Latin.
A day where math is FINALLY understood.  A day where science is all about discovery and solving problems, rather than memorization for a test.
A day where learning social studies includes cooking, music, dance, art and theater along with research and presentations.
Imagine- Coming to school every day without aches and pains because you no longer worried about not understanding the homework or fear of failing an exam. Imagine- A place where you can just be yourself.
