About The Arts Middle and High School
Located in Matawan, the Arts High and Middle School is a special release-time program for gifted and talented teens with a vested interest in the literary, visual, and performing arts. Since 1980, distinguished artists have offered participating students advanced level enrichment courses, providing a rigorous curriculum for honing artistic skills and furthering creative expression in a medium of the student’s choice.
Classes are held from January through May, with each student attending one day a week over a twelve- or fourteen-week term. Roundtrip transpiration is provided by participating schools, which also play a role in identifying and recruiting talented students. Participants are responsible for making up any school work they miss while attending the program. Most courses offered to high school students can be taken for college credit through a partnership with Middlesex County Community College.
Students interested in joining the program must audition to participate; an audition/portfolio review day is held every December. If your child is interested in participating, please visit www.ArtsHigh.net, call 732-566-2787, or email info@artsandedcenter.org.
For additional information about this exhibit, please visit www.dowdell.org or contact the Library at 732-721-6060 or comments@dowdell.org. The library is located off John O’Leary Blvd, adjacent to South Amboy Middle High School.
