About
Our students complete two parallel paths of study: conservatory-level pre-professional training in the arts and college-preparatory academics; all students are equipped with post-secondary planning skills. Our alumni are creative thinkers, confident collaborators, culturally engaged innovators, and open-minded citizens. They distinguish themselves in virtually every field of endeavor. LaGuardia Arts is a large, NYC Specialized High School and the only Specialized High School that admits students based on a competitive audition and not the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT.)
