About

Interlochen Arts Academy is the nation's first fine-arts boarding high school, set on a 1,200-acre wooded campus in northern Michigan between two lakes. Students major in creative writing, dance, film, music, theatre, or visual arts alongside a full college-preparatory curriculum, and the campus doubles as a professional performance venue.
