Testimonials
“I've worked closely with teenagers for over 30 years, and the most impressive group I ever sat with was a senior class at Tara. ... They're clearly doing some things at that school that others are not.”
- Michael Vladeck, Owner, Conscious Parenting in the Digital Age
“College has shown me how much my education at Tara, especially the performing arts, has prepared me to be able to effectively work with others – as both a leader and a follower – and to collaborate to solve problems. The collective focus that Tara students have in order to create something meaningful and beautiful is truly special, and I aim to carry it with me through the rest of my life.”
- Maggie Lynch, Class of 2023
“Travel at Tara is exciting, eye-opening, and profoundly humbling. From the striking awe of the San Juan River, to the rich culture and history of the Native Americans, to the impactful and ever-surprising theater, art and music we were exposed to in New York and Europe – these experiences shaped who I have grown to be today, and I am forever grateful.”
“An exceptional school that embraces the individual … Encourages young people’s growth in mind and spirit … And promotes the welfare of all humanity –”

“Some might balk at the idea of giving a teen choir Mozart’s Coronation Mass, but the lessons contained in this brilliant piece and others like it served my musical understanding and fed my soul. If we are not shown the best of what human beings are capable of then we may never dream of what we ourselves can aspire to.”
- Natalie Simpson, Tara Vocal Director, Class of 2006
