It is very helpful and answered most of the questions, thank you. You sound like counselor or teacher, maybe alum parent?
Cooper, I am in the city and well aware of. I meant free ride to Parsons, SMFA, SAIC, MICA and not college but Pre College to RISD, that is almost unheard of.
Those school won’t give away all inclusive (room, meals, fees) grant so easily unless.,,,My understanding is that Palm Beach area is rather affluent, am I wrong?
Originally interested in this by a story about accepting full ride to SMFA over Cooper without even visiting school because of student’s financial situation. Though, school was said DASH, which I assumed Dreyfoo but then I found out there are couple of them in Florida.
It just amaze me the quality of their work and worldliness, writing skill and down to earth-ness in funny way.
We have world famous art high school here but it is more geared to performing arts and visual accept largest number of students yet sort of like adapted or stepsibling. Most graduates go to Ivies and LAC not art schools. There are several lesser known art HS including the one my child goes but facility is out of date students body spotty (manga, graffiti, anime) teachers hit or miss, it just that, no school has that kind of air (or physical capacity-real estate to host proper studios)
So if you could give me tips what in Florida that make it happening, I am sure there are other places in other states that always win students to Scholastics and so on.
More I think about it, they can go either way.
Study hard and get good grades then suddenly want to go to art school during academic HS and still make it to RISD type school or, really prepared since early on and get amazing aid to be able to attend more conceptual art school. Cooper is somewhere in between, but obviously art HS does give an edge though not any school would do.
