This Curtis mom would also agree with Curtis being “cushy.” The academics are not really emphasized that much. My son had one class held over breakfast in the cafeteria. They do require more piano than most places (all students have to take private lessons in addition to keyboard skills) and the solfeggio is challenging. But they are coddled a bit to make sure they have plenty of time for performing and practicing.

As with anything, though, it is what you make of it. If you want to take University of Pennsylvania classes you most certainly can.
