Where Academic Excellence Meets the Transformative Power of the Arts

​

The Ohana Arts Conservatory at Pacific Buddhist Academy is a small, selective, college-preparatory program that brings together rigorous academics, peace-centered values, and pre-professional performing arts training in a uniquely supportive learning environment.

​

Through a partnership between Pacific Buddhist Academy and Ohana Arts, students receive an accredited high school education while pursuing specialized, conservatory-style training in the performing arts. Launching with a focus on musical theatre, the Conservatory builds on Ohana Arts' established excellence in musical theatre education and production, offering intensive instruction in acting, voice, and dance.

​

PBA's commitment to peace-based education and Ohana Arts' mission to promote world friendship and peace through the universal language of the arts unite in a shared vision: to nurture thoughtful, compassionate, and creative young people prepared to make a meaningful difference in the world.

​

Our audition-based admissions process creates a focused learning community where students are known, mentored, and challenged to grow as performers, scholars, and leaders. With intentionally small class sizes, close faculty mentorship, and individualized artistic development, students receive the guidance and support to discover their strengths, take creative risks, and reach their potential.

Students train with experienced faculty who bring professional expertise into the classroom, rehearsal studio, and performance space. Through performance opportunities, professionally produced productions, and hands-on creative projects, they develop their artistic skills, build confidence, and gain valuable real-world experience throughout their high school years.

​

More Than Training. An Education in Purpose.

At the Ohana Arts Conservatory, artistic excellence and personal growth go hand in hand. Students develop the discipline, confidence, and versatility necessary to pursue their artistic aspirations while cultivating empathy, collaboration, and an appreciation for the power of creative expression to connect people across cultures and communities.

​

As members of Pacific Buddhist Academy's close-knit, values-driven school community, students benefit from an academic environment that emphasizes character, compassion, and whole-person development. This integration of rigorous academics and pre-professional arts training prepares graduates for further study in competitive college programs and potential careers in the arts, while equipping them to lead thoughtful, purposeful lives.

Beginning with musical theatre, the Conservatory envisions expanding its offerings to include additional specialized pathways in music, theatre, and dance as the program grows, creating new opportunities for young artists to pursue their passions at an advanced level.

​

One Community. Two Complementary Missions.

Pacific Buddhist Academy and Ohana Arts share a belief that education should do more than develop knowledge and talent. It should also cultivate character, compassion, and a sense of responsibility to others.

​

Together, we aspire to nurture a generation of artists, scholars, and compassionate global citizens who understand that the arts can build bridges, foster understanding, and help create a more peaceful world.

​

Because the next generation of artists can do more than move audiences. They can help move the world toward peace.
