Your Safety is Our First Priority


We don’t take our homestay program lightly, especially when it comes to the safety and security of our students. We only choose host families who have undergone a series of national criminal background checks, interviews, at-home inspections, orientations, and trainings. On top of intensive procedures for households, we’re CSIET-approved, meaning StudentRoomStay is audited each year to assure each student is safe and well taken care of during their entire academic homestay.

Testimonials

I have had a great experience as a student at MSA! In just a few months I have improved tremendously in all of my classes. The staff is both knowledgeable and kind, creating a very safe environment and encouraging students to grow. The students are welcoming and supportive of their classmates. I could not recommend MSA more!

Claudia
MSA Student/Alumni

My son is currently a 7th grader at The Academy at Metropolitan Arts. He started as an actor but is a dance novice; they have done everything to accommodate him and make him feel successful. The teachers have high standards but are supportive, and the academic support has been amazing! The individual attention my son has received has been fantastic. If your child is a dance, musical theater, or young actor/performer, this is a great place to continue education, while in a rigorous arts education program.

Julia
MSA Parent

Never has my child felt so special, loved, and respected! She is challenged in her art classes and supported in her academics. I was worried that online learning would be challenging but with the excellent support of the in-person teachers, my daughter has excelled. MSA is a fit for us and we are happy we found it.
