OUR MISSION

 
The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2011

The Cinema School (TCS) is a selective academic high school offering a rigorous liberal arts curriculum that is grounded in filmmaking. We prepare our students for the best colleges by challenging them to achieve new levels of understanding and to accomplish great things.
Our well-rounded academic program lays a strong foundation for success in any field while simultaneously empowering the voices, creative visions and aspirations of our students.
