ROCK ACADEMICS
Rock Academics provides academic flexibility and dual preparation for our students’ artistic careers and futures in higher education.
Academic tutors are also provided to support the education of The Rock School’s Academics students. Our highly motivated students move forward at a pace suited to their individual abilities; students can earn middle school, high school and college credits, critical to young artists who often spend their college years in professional companies.
Mission & Vision
Rock Academics is committed to providing a quality, college preparatory program designed for students in the Professional Division. While providing personal attention to all students, our inclusive program provides flexibility, giving students the option to pick their own online school or to gain a more individualized academic plan and direct oversight if they choose one of our partner schools. Rock Academics helps students achieve a successful balance between their academics and intensive dance training. Our integrated approach to learning provides young artists with a supportive environment and the tools they need to meet life’s challenges with confidence, self-discipline, enthusiasm, and the highest standards of personal integrity.

Professional Division students who are not high school graduates are required to participate in Academics in one of the programs outlined above. Students use their personal laptops while The Rock School provides internet access featuring security enhanced content filtering. The Rock School will also provide a loaner laptop to all students who experience technical issues for up to 7 days.
“Rock Academics is the reason I was able to fulfill my dream as a dancer AND graduate achieving all my academic goals. I had support, encouragement, and balance, which is everything I needed to be the best student possible. I would recommend Rock Academics to every student with a passion for both dance and school.”
