About the SOTA Conservatory Program
Conservatorystudents spend up to 20 hours per week in their arts program of study. A non-traditional schedule, with online and blended courses for academic coursework, allows students to spend more of their school day in expanded arts classes, internships, and work experiences in the arts. Areas of concentration at SOTA include Art and Design, Dance, Music Technology and Audio Production, Theatre, and Voice. Admittance to the Conservatory is determined through auditions, interviews, and juried presentations and performances. (Transportation for Central Gwinnett students is provided. Students from other clusters must be eligible for permissive transfer and provide their own transportation.)
