DreamYard Preparatory School

Our school meets studentsÂ’ individual needs and prepares students for meaningful careers and admission to college. All students will declare an Arts Major in their junior and senior years. We promote community-building by using Restorative Justice to address social-emotional challenges and Circles to address conflict. Teaching artists, in collaboration with classroom teachers, develop arts-integrated projects throughout the year. Students have opportunities in their junior year to spend time on college campuses in the summer, and we conduct college visits starting in 9th grade. Our arts electives and majors include visual art, dance, digital media, choral music, theatre, and musical theatre.
