Teacher Fellowships, taking them to New York and Oxford, England to study

modern dance and Shakespeare, respectively.

nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities, including Massachusetts

University,  Berklee School of Music,

UCLA and the UCLA School of Theatre, Film and 

Television, Northwestern, Stanford, USC, NYU, and many others.  CoSA’s students are trained and prepared to

work in their artistic fields, and their unique, inquiring minds with a desire
