I want to thank everyone that replied to my post. Each of you has helped tremendously. I feel much more confident. AM is my first choice as it is a program which offers so much growth potential. To the parent who responded I too believe as you do that the art must be supported by foundations in story telling and business. the students in my district have access to a fantastic media arts studio at the high school level. It is my hope that my the students in my small after school program go on to enter that program. Thank you again for your help.
