NMSA Open House 5:30pm-7:30pm
The Open House is an event where prospective students and families can come visit our state-of-the-art campus, connect with current students, and engage with our inspiring teachers.
The Open House will begin with a 30 minute presentation about the school from our staff, faculty, and students. After this, each of our departments (Creative Writing & Literature, Dance, Music (Instrumental & Vocal), Theatre, and Visual Arts) will go to their respective rooms near the auditorium for their 20 minute presentations. There will be two sessions, each department will have their own personalized presentation about the department. This will be your opportunity to learn more about their specifics and ask direct questions to students and the department chairs.
