For young actors, traditional school schedules can make it difficult to balance academics with auditions, rehearsals, performances, filming, and travel.
Whitmore School gives aspiring actors the flexibility to pursue their education while pursuing their passion.
Our accredited online high school allows students to complete their coursework on a flexible schedule, wherever their acting career takes them. Whether a student is preparing for an audition, working on set, performing in a production, or traveling for an opportunity, Whitmore provides an academic environment designed to work around their lives—not the other way around.
An acting career doesn’t always follow a traditional schedule.
Auditions may happen during the school day. A production may require weeks of rehearsals. A booking can mean traveling across the country—or around the world.
Whitmore’s self-paced learning model gives student actors the flexibility to organize their schoolwork around these important opportunities while continuing to make meaningful academic progress.
Since 1994, students from across the United States and around the world have trusted Whitmore School to help them earn a respected high school diploma while pursuing their passion for acting.
At Whitmore School, we understand that an aspiring actor’s schedule can change quickly.
A student might spend one week preparing for an audition and the next week traveling to a production. Rather than requiring students to fit their lives into a rigid school schedule, Whitmore’s educational model provides the flexibility they need to balance academics and acting.
Our teachers work individually with students, providing personalized feedback and support throughout their courses.
Your education shouldn’t have to stand between you and your next opportunity.
Whitmore uses a self-paced, mastery-learning model designed to help students take greater ownership of their education.
Students work through their courses independently while receiving individualized feedback from their teachers. Instead of moving through a course simply because the calendar says it’s time to move on, students demonstrate their understanding as they progress.
This approach can be especially valuable for young performers whose schedules don’t fit neatly into a traditional school day.
Whether you’re pursuing acting professionally or preparing for a future in the performing arts, your academic goals still matter.
Whitmore offers a variety of high school courses designed to help students build a strong academic foundation and prepare for their next step—whether that means college, conservatory, professional training, or a career in the entertainment industry.
Whitmore School provides the flexibility to pursue those opportunities without putting your high school education on hold.
Your acting career may take you to new cities, new productions, and new opportunities. Your high school education can go with you.
Whitmore students come from across the United States and around the world, and our online learning environment makes it possible to continue working toward graduation wherever life and acting take you.
Audition. Rehearse. Perform. Learn. Grow.
You don’t have to choose between your education and your passion.
Discover how Whitmore School can help your student balance a serious acting career with a high-quality, accredited high school education.
