The Barbara Ingram building has been like a home to us, and every student that passes through its doors are like a part of our second family. Everyday we as students train both our minds and our artistic abilities to become the best at what we do. In our case, it's to become better violinists and smarter people. :)

Elizabeth's ExperienceI feel like it's because of BISFA that I was able to grow so much, not just as a student, but as a person as well. Back when I attended middle school, I only went to school to learn, do my work, and get a good GPA. Other than that, I really didn't have much of a presence in school. I always thought that high school would be pretty much the same, which is the mentality I had when I entered my freshman year at BISFA. But boy was I wrong! Even just the first year, I found myself buried in schoolwork, extracurricular activities dealing with my discipline, and plenty of other things I was sure I wouldn't have to be worried about if I had attended my local high school! But you know what? I loved it! Everyday was filled with something new and there was never a time where I found myself not wanting to go to school! The BISFA lifestyle was just so insane and exciting, and all of the teachers are always so nice and helpful, I knew that by the time I graduate in July of 2018, I would be way more than college ready, I would be ready for whatever life (especially dealing with stairs #onlyatBISFA) has to throw at me! ^-^

Stephanie's ExperienceI have only been at BISFA for little over a year, and I already feel as if it's my second home. Sure the schedule is rigorous, and more than often I find myself doing my homework at the last minute, but everyday I find myself laughing at someones joke or smiling because I've learned something new. And before I knew it, I was looking forward to next day of school. The teachers always help me to achieve to my fullest potential in both my discipline and academics, and all the students, freshman or senior, are kind and supporting and passionate about their art. You know you love this school when you walk almost 10 flights of stairs per day and are still willing to come back the next day. @w@
