In reply to P.A.. Being active in sports, music, and many other activities comes with a price tag. As for music, we’re glad that there are organizations and foundations providing instruments to students who cannot afford to purchase them. And if you check with any of the boarding arts high schools, you’ll find as part of their commitment to maintaining a diverse student population, they provide significant financial aid to talented students who would otherwise be unable to attend.

In reply to Ashliegh. You think it is free here? Parents have to pay to rent instruments for kids to practice on at home and for all private lessons plus fees for recitals and trips. At school additional instrument use fees are required. Plus summer camps are extra and only for a week or two. Boarding music H.S. costs $60,000 a year which is totally unaffordable except for the wealthy.

Hello I’m an 11th grade student at Sunland Baptist Academy in the Bahamas. For my spring break I went on a trip with my music teacher and a group of music students. We went to Florida where we visited many colleges and high schools. I really enjoyed visiting them . However it really saddened me to see how far behind we were as it relates to music. In my country students who want to pursue music normally have to pay for extra music classes. So because of this we who want to pursue music are at a disadvantage. Being able to attend a boarding music school would be very awesome for my senior year.
