Curious about CoSA?
Check out the Open House for all interested students and their families! Students from around San Diego County who are in 8th, 9th and 10th grade with a craving for creativity are invited. Coronado School of the Arts is an award-winning public arts conservatory located on the campus of Coronado High School. CoSA nurtures artistic individuality as well as fosters academic excellence, and is open to all San Diego County students who have a passion for the arts and meet the admission requirements
for the school.

Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) will hold its annual Open House on Tuesday, Nov. 12 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Coronado High School, 650 D Avenue, Coronado CA  92118. There is no prior registration required.

At the Open House students and
their parents will have the opportunity to meet the award-winning faculty from
CoSA’s six conservatories:  

• Classical & Contemporary Dance
• Digital Media
• Instrumental Music
• Musical Theatre & Drama
• Technical Theatre
• Visual Arts 

Students may have a chance to see CoSA’s state-of-the art Performing Arts Center, including the 550-seat main stage theatre and the more intimate Black Box theatre, the broadcast studio, the digital music lab, dance studios and more.

Students and their parents will learn about CoSA’s application and audition/interview process, and be able to register for the Prospective Student Workshop to be held on Jan. 27.

Each year, CoSA students earn local and national awards, from the Old Globe Honors and National Youth Arts awards to the Red Rock Film Festival “Audience Favorite.” CoSA’s faculty also garners awards; last year two teachers, Gina Sorensen and Kim Strassburger, were awarded National Artist Teacher Fellowships, taking them to New York and Oxford, England to study modern dance and Shakespeare, respectively.

COSA’s students have gone on to the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard 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 to create are in demand in today’s highly competitive college applicant pool.

CoSA has been called San Diego County’s premier arts conservatory and is the winner of numerous prestigious arts awards including the California State 2009 Golden Bell for Visual and Performing Arts, was one of five National Outstanding Arts Schools in 2010, and received a National Music Education Merit Award in 2013 for exemplary support of music education in the United States. Coronado High School was named a California Distinguished School in 2011 and honored with an Exemplary Career Technical Education Award, in large part due to CoSA’s programs of school-to-career instruction.
