Choosing a class for a young actor

Check the age band of each class, not only the school: many schools split kids and teens into separate groups. Ask how many students are in a class, whether parents can watch, and whether the class works on camera, on stage, or both. Most schools let families try or observe a class first; the table shows each school's stated audit policy.
