Depending on what discipline you go to NOCCA can be a phenomenal experience. You get top-tier training, and your teachers are all working professionals. On top of this if you go to Academic studio you get a staff of teachers who genuinely care about you and want you to thrive.

NOCCA is the best place to be if you want to pursue a career in the arts. It is an inclusive and diverse school full of people that are passionate, creative, visionary and empathetic. It offers some of the best high school arts training in the country with wonderful faculty and lots of creative opportunities. My favorite part about NOCCA is that they encourage their students to develop their own creative voice and help them grow as artists.
