Frank Sinatra School of the Arts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts is an art !!! high school located in Long Island City Queens, New York. It was established by Exploring the Arts, a charitable organization co-founded by Tony Bennett. It offers studio courses in instrumental music, vocal music, fine art, dance, and drama. In order to be admitted to this school, a student must audition for one of the art programs. Grades are also a deciding factor.
Students have six periods of academic work and three periods in their studio...
All students within the school are able to tryout for the Musical Theater program (usually beginning in 11th grade) or jazz band.
[edit] History
The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts was founded in 2001 by the singer Tony Bennett, to honor his good friend Frank Sinatra. The school was originally in the fourth floor of the IDCNY building in Long Island City, where the small student population walked down a single bright blue hallway to get from class to class. In 2005, FSSA moved across the street to the sixth and seventh floors of the Queens Atrium Building. (The DeVry, Long Island City campus and two other smaller high schools are located in the eight floor building.)
