The languages taught at the school are English, German, Spanish and Italian. Students can also have a major in dance or music. The highschool has an orchestra which gives concerts every year.
Students also perform yearly at the school artistic festival. Regular jam sessions are organized by students so they get to create stronger bonds and learn from each others' practice in a friendly atmosphere.
The teachers and students work closely with the school's partners ( music conservatory and academies of dance) on a number of artistic projects.
The school is located in the outskirts of Vélez Málaga. The city has been regional capital for over two decades. This has led to a significant concentration of public services and, correspondingly, is leading to an extraordinary expansion of the private tertiary sector. It is, however, a population mainly focused on the primary sector.
There are about 730 students divided into 25 groups. Most of our students come from the city of Vélez Málaga, but there are also students who come from surrounding rural areas and farms, such as Comares, and Trapiche or Triana, who need to use the school transport service.
Currently, the school is facing the continuous reception of immigrant students from different countries (mainly the UK, South American, Arab and Eastern European countries), ensuring their integration with the help of assistant language teachers for the learning of Spanish.
The school is also included in many of the Andalusian Government educational programmes, including the teaching of foreign languages through content areas or the use of ICT in everyday practice. This circumstance offers our students the possibility of travelling abroad and participating in language and cultural exchanges inside and outside our country.
The highschool offers training based on the long experience of Teatro Nuovo in the pedagogy of dance, theater and scenography and also gives cultural and professional training to students who study dance and acting. Teachers are also professionals who dance in famous dance companies, or are professional actors recognized by their peers. Professional shows are regularly hosted by the highschool (one theater : 1000 seats, a huge stage with an orchestra pit) giving students the opportunity to meet full-fledged artists.
Students are recruited nationally. They come from all kinds of social backgrounds. Their daily work with professional artists and performers gives them great maturity on stage. Some will work in advertising or design others in the show business or will become dance teachers.
