“Children’s Arts Theatre School has provided so many valuable opportunities to students of Etobicoke School of the Arts. The extra training as triple threat artists has enhanced many students talents in our Music Theatre program. The invaluable experience these young artists receive outside of the school has helped them shine on the stage, created many lasting friendships and forged a great professional relationship with ESA and Children’s Arts Theatre School. We share many of the same professional guest artists, and share the same goals about educating the youth of tomorrow’s Broadway stage.”

“Apollo Started CATS classes last fall, and loved it from the very beginning and would look forward to going to school every week. With videos and virtual zoom classes, Apollo was still happy to see and interact with his teachers and friends in a fun, interactive way (which was a reprieve from school at home and helped him channel his energy creatively). Asking them to search for and find props in the home or just outside was super fun! The teachers have been so helpful, patient and engaging with the kids, making the experience much more enjoyable.We're very grateful for the school's effort in helping with kids' performances and putting the films together. We look forward to coming back in the fall.”
