At Dream Builders Realty, we know the importance of taking an active role in the community we serve. One way we do this is through the support of local education. Our series on school features shows exactly what this area has to offer when it comes to education. 

This week we are featuring another local high school, but this one has a twist when it comes to what the average high school has to offer. Osceola County School for the Arts is a public magnet arts school located in Kissimmee, Florida. 


Let's start with the school's mission statement:

"Osceola County School for the Arts' mission is to provide a community that nourishes and nurtures the personal integrity and creative expression of our students in their pursuit of artistic and academic excellence."


At OCSA, high school students can major in one or two of the following disciplines: Visual Arts, Drama, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music/Band, Creative Writing, Dance, Orchestra, or Technical Theater. Middle school students can major in dance or instrumental music (Band or Orchestra). 

The Osceola County School for the Arts has boasted an A-rating since it was established in the 2003-2004 school year and was recently named an Arts Achieve Model School by the Florida Alliance for Arts Education.

One of the best things about having a performing arts school located in Osceola County is the fact that there is usually always some sort of performance taking place at the school, meaning there is always something you can fill your calendar with when it comes to arts in our area.
