The general populace in SOTA has to undergo overseas exposure in their arts form plus cip. These two areas are definately compulsory! This feedback is accurate as my best friend's dd is studying there and i also knw few friends in the teaching faculty.

Also the overall exposure given in this school is unparallel thru master classes by top professionals and is all free.

Thanks Edureach.

Thanks dasalo for the details.

So the trips are more art form specific and CIP rather than academic?

How many AGP students are there a year? These are for the exceptionally talented students in their art forms right?

Yes, in a way. Somehow, they learn their academic through Art. I can't explain but it's kinda related.

There isn't a quota on AGP students. They are selected based on their exceptional talent coupled with at least a 75% score on academics studies. During my dd1's yr, there were only 4, all from Music and they form a class. After a year or 2 can't remember, they disbanded the idea and resume the normal ie. integrate in the normal class and given an extra hr or 2 for the AGP students on their art form. In other words, they work more, spend longer hours at school.

Now they have at least 2 students from each art form in the level yr and they are placed according to their subject combi classes. Btw, AGP starts from Yr3. So you get about at least 7-8? students for each level yr, maybe? With the exception of Yr6.

My son just had his audition in theatre studies. It was a very positive experience with the head of the dept asking him many questions.


Just to check: is there any child or parent with child doing theater studies? Would love to know more as to whether the class size, the quality of teachers in theatre n overall experience in studying this area.

TIA

My kid isn't in Sota but from what I understand thru the symposium etc, the class size is about 25 and a mixture of kids from the various art forms. Think they are grouped according to their academic abilities (think I heard that).

As for the teachers, am sure they are good since the faculties include current and past practitioners of the discipline.

How was the turn out for the audition? Glad your kid had a positive experience!
