This is important: Atlantic’s emphasis on the integration of the children into all parts of the creative process is what attracted us, and is exactly how it really works, too. My daughter thrived in the program from day one and has attended continuously since. What Atlantic does that is so special is that they use ‘real’ acting exercises and games and serious theater study to create an incredibly nurturing environment where my daughter (and subsequently my niece as well) learned that it’s ok to be yourself. It’s ok to express yourself. It’s ok to be goofy and have fun.
