Tonya, Elsa and Mark are students at SAR High School in New York City. It's a school with regular academic (学术的) classes, but it also gives special attention to the performing arts. Tonya likes dancing, Elsa wants to be an artist and Mark is a singer.
The students are all 15, and they're in the 10th grade. They study subjects like English, maths, and science. They also choose a foreign language. Students have many academic classes, but during the school day they also take classes in the arts, like dance and music.
There is even more for SAR students after school. There are more than 40 clubs for students. For example, there's a movie club, a music club and an environment club. " We have so many choices here," says Tonya. " I like taking photos. It's also a great way to meet people with common interests."
Students at SAR can also do many sports. For example, they can play basketball, tennis, volleyball and soccer. Students practice after school. They compete against other high schools. Mark says, "At school, I study by myself. I'm a singer, and I do that alone, too. That's why I like playing on the basketball team. We work together and compete against other teams."
SAR offers many great classes, clubs and sports for students. Students at SAR get a good education and they also develop their own interests. Many SAR students become dancers, singers and actors!
