Interested in learning more about Bak Middle School of the Arts? Bak is a unique public middle school in Palm Beach County that offers a great academic education as well as emphasis in several art areas. The audition process is competitive, and Black Dog offers prep classes in the areas of Communication Arts and Theater for students who are interested in attending. Our special Bak Exploration camp introduces campers to the audition process, as well as what student life is like. Bak graduates will present Q&As and share their first-hand experiences with campers. We will also feature Bak-like activities such as producing a morning news show and exploring the four areas of theater (musical theater, acting, costuming, and technical theater). Our Bak expert and Coach, Mark Fetterly, has been preparing Communication Arts and Theater students for entrance to Bak for over 20 years and will lead a two-hour audition prep each day. Parents will also receive information on the audition process so you're well prepared! (Please note our Bak MSOA Prep Camp is reserved for rising 4th through 7th graders.)
