WELCOME
There is nothing quite like the hustle and bustle of North Broward Fine Arts students and teachers busy at work. The line, however, between work and play, may become blurred as you peek in on a theatre class clowning around, a 3-D art class climbing to build upward, or a lower school music student improvising their first solo on the violin. These are the experiences that shape the development of young artists here at North Broward.
Our distinguished faculty of arts educators and teaching artists are committed to sharing their knowledge and passion for the arts in meaningful ways. Students find inspiration from the experiences curated by teachers both in the classroom and beyond those walls, through unique partnerships with Savannah College of Art and Design, Slow Burn Theatre Company, Art of Classical Ballet, and Adobe.
Our Arts Academy program paves the way for career minded student artists to dig more deeply into their discipline, preparing them for a future in the arts.
We are especially passionate about our collaboration with The Juilliard School. The Juilliard-Nord Anglia
Performing Arts Program enriches our performing arts curriculum and students’ learning with the artistic values, traditions, and expertise of Juilliard. We truly learn with Juilliard. Juilliard curriculum specialists,
teaching artists and touring performers visit NBPS regularly, inspiring our school community through workshops, masterclasses, and performances.
Here at North Broward Prep, we believe that wherever your passion lies, that is where hard work, collaboration, creativity, and excellence meet. It is our sincere hope that every student that passes through our program will grow in their abilities, passions, and appreciation of the arts and carry that with them forever.
Sincerely,
Fine Arts Director
