The Colburn Music Academy is focused on expanding students’ musical knowledge and performance abilities in preparation for post-secondary study and careers as professional musicians. The Music Academy does not grant high school degrees. Our instruction and activities take place outside of standard school hours, and students must complete their state-mandated academic education requirements through an external school. Colburn has relationships with several high school options, and you can find more information about these schools below.
The Colburn School prides itself on creating a tailored learning environment for each of our students so that they can reach their fullest potential as musicians, dancers, and human beings.
The fall of 2018 will mark the first year of a pilot academic program provided by Oak Crest Academy (OCA), an accredited independent academic school for gifted and talented students. OCA will offer academic instructors and individualized learning programs on Colburn’s campus for a select number of students grades five through high school. OCA currently serves K-12 students on two campuses; Oak Park and the recently-opened Tarzana.
The Oak Crest program will allow efficiency and flexibility for families seeking more time to pursue their music studies while offering a rigorous academic education, and will include:
Tuition for each student enrolled in the OCA program is set at approximately $7,500.00 per year (final tuition amount will be finalized by April 2018). Tuition may be paid in full or in installments. There is a $125 application fee and a $252 tuition insurance fee. Tuition is inclusive of all curriculum, either online or textbook, and use of the learning center.

Colburn Music Academy students also are eligible for a 10% tuition discount to Laurel Springs School. The online K-12 school provides students scheduling flexibility to fit in both academic classwork as well as music studies and performance commitments.
