Attendance looks so much better this week! Attendance looks so much better this week!

The AAA family has been hit hard by illness over the last several weeks. Please be sure to report official diagnoses to the school nurse, Nurse Darby, so we can notate and make any attendance corrections. Also, if your child has missed days due to illness, please be sure to touch base with their teacher(s) to get any makeup assignments that need to be completed. Our teachers will finalize grades when we return from Spring Break, so completing those assignments ASAP is critical to keep grades up to date!


We are hopeful that some sunny weather and time away from school will be just what the doctor ordered for our students to get some rest, recover from any remaining bugs, and be ready to come back to school ready to rock the fourth nine weeks! If you have any attendance questions, please reach out to our assistant principal, Erin Smith.

This weekly 1.5-hour, 8-week class is designed to help you get a leg up and learn how to become a “thinking actor.” Learn how to make acting choices such as: “Who am I talking to?” “What do I want from them?” and “How am I going to get it?” Use your creativity and follow your own actor’s instincts!

Cost $240 / 8-week session


This weekly 2-hour, 8-week class is designed to introduce you to the skills and techniques necessary to help you become a “thinking actor”, through an introduction to the Stanislavski method of acting. Stanislavsky’s acting method is designed to help actors create believable characters and develop natural performances. During this class we will break down and analyze monologues and scenes, as well as their source material, and discover how to fully flesh out your characters’ relationships, environments, objectives, tactics, and more. Learn to use your mind and creativity to make choices and follow your own actor’s instincts! At The Studio, we strive to train our students in a manner that will prepare them for their next step, whether that be a high school production, a community theatre production, or even a professional production. If you want to learn how to really dig into a character and create an authentic performance for the stage, sign up and join us for “A Summer with Stanislavski: Becoming A Thinking Actor”.
