Playhouse Stage Academy CONSERVATORY

Our Most Comprehensive Training Track

Intermediate: Grades 6-8 | Advanced: Grades 9-12 

Individualized weekly schedule — 4 to 8 classes per week, placed by grade and instructor evaluation

For the student ready to go all in, Conservatory is Playhouse Stage Academy's comprehensive pre-professional training track — a full week of training under one price, and real savings over registering for each class individually.

 INTERMEDIATE CONSERVATORY (Grades 6–8) Weekly training across seven core disciplines: Acting, MT Dance, MT Techniques, Tap, Ballet/Modern, Technical Theatre, and Acro. Full Year: $2,165
Registering for all seven individually would run $3,855 for the year, so Intermediate Conservatory students save $1,690. Once a student is already taking 4 of these classes on their own, Conservatory becomes the better deal.
Spring Only: $1,195 Registering for all seven individually for the spring would run $2,350, a savings of $1,155.

ADVANCED CONSERVATORY (Grades 9–12) Builds on that same foundation and adds Pilates and our fall-only College Prep course, for nine disciplines in total. Full Year: $2,830
Registering individually would run $4,880 for the year, so Advanced Conservatory students save $2,050. Once a student is taking 6 of these classes on their own, Advanced Conservatory already pays for itself.
Spring Only: $1,550 Includes eight disciplines (College Prep runs in the fall only). Registering for all eight individually for the spring would run $2,780, a savings of $1,230.

SEMESTER DATES Fall Semester: September 15–December 5, 2026 (10 weeks) Spring Semester: January 12–April 10, 2027 (10 weeks) Conservatory can be registered for the Full Year or for the Spring Semester only. There is no Fall-only Conservatory option.

Leveling runs generally by grade, with placement in each individual discipline further refined by instructor evaluation — so your student's exact weekly schedule may look slightly different from a same-grade peer depending on their growth and technique level. If you have any questions about your student's specific schedule, reach out to AshleySimone ahead of the first week - she is always happy to talk through how your student's individual track is structured.

Designed for students building toward Playhouse Stage Academy productions and college-level BFA training, Conservatory is our most complete path for the serious young performer.
