JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
The Berkeley Center for the Arts is currently accepting applications for the 2012-13 school year. BCA is a school-within-a-school, located on the campus of Goose Creek High. It offers students in grades nine through 12 a pre-professional program of study in the areas of creative writing, dance, strings, theater, visual arts, voice, winds and percussion.
In addition to completing traditional academic courses at Goose Creek High, students receive individualized instruction in the arts with a low teacher-student ratio, master classes with faculty and guest artists and the opportunity to participate in studio and interdisciplinary recitals and presentations. They also receive intensive instruction in history, theory and supplemental skills in the arts.
