Halifax Repertory Theatre Academy is a private middle and high school serving students in grades 6–12 who are passionate about the performing arts. We combine structured, Florida Standard academics with daily conservatory-style arts training in a professional, performance-driven environment.
At HRT Academy, students do not choose between academics and the arts — they pursue both at a high level every single day.
Our Dual-Track Daily Schedule (Mon–Fri):
8:30 AM – 11:30 AM | Morning Academic Block
Core subjects delivered through a fully accredited online platform staffed by Florida-certified teachers. Students work on campus with supervision and real-time support.
12:30 PM – 3:30 PM | Afternoon Conservatory Block
Daily elite arts training in acting, voice, dance, improvisation, technical theatre, stagecraft, and theatre business. Performance opportunities will be available to all students in the Arts Program. Students are preparing for real productions with real audiences.
For Academics, we are proud to partner with EdOptions Academy, a nationally recognized virtual school whose students consistently outperform national averages on SAT and ACT assessments. High school credit tracking, Advanced Placement options, SAT/ACT prep, and college/NCAA readiness are built into our academic structure.
HRT Academy is not an after-school program. It is a full-day commitment to developing the whole student — academically, artistically, and personally.
Enrollment Options:
• Academics + Arts Academy (Full Program) – $15,000/year
Full academic instruction plus daily conservatory training and required performances.

Transcripts requested for full-program applicants
We are building something truly special - a conservatory model that develops disciplined, confident, college-ready young artists while keeping every academic door open.

Training Requirement All instructional personnel, educational support employees, and administrators are required as a condition of employment to complete training on these standards of ethical conduct.
Reporting Misconduct by Instructional Personnel and Administrators All instructional personnel, educational support employees, and school administrators have an obligation to report misconduct by instructional personnel, educational support employees, and school administrators which affects the health, safety, or welfare of a student. Examples of misconduct include obscene language, drug and alcohol use, disparaging comments, prejudice or bigotry, sexual innuendo, cheating or testing violations, physical aggression, and accepting or offering favors. Reports of misconduct of employees should be made to Sandra Cook, Executive Director. Reports of misconduct committed by administrators should be made to Jack Cook, Esquire.

Reporting Child Abuse, Abandonment or Neglect All employees and agents have an affirmative duty to report all actual or suspected cases of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Call 1-800-96-ABUSE or report online at: http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/abuse/report/.
Signs of Physical Abuse The child may have unexplained bruises, welts, cuts, or other injuries; broken bones; or burns. A child experiencing physical abuse may seem withdrawn or depressed, seem afraid to go home or may run away, shy away from physical contact, be aggressive, or wear inappropriate clothing to hide injuries.
Signs of Sexual Abuse The child may have torn, stained or bloody underwear, trouble walking or sitting, pain or itching in genital area, or a sexually transmitted disease. A child experiencing sexual abuse may have unusual knowledge of sex or act seductively, fear a particular person, seem withdrawn or depressed, gain or lose weight suddenly, shy away from physical contact, or run away from home.
Signs of Neglect The child may have unattended medical needs, little or no supervision at home, poor hygiene, or appear underweight. A child experiencing neglect may be frequently tired or hungry, steal food, or appear overly needy for adult attention.
Patterns of Abuse: Serious abuse usually involves a combination of factors. While a single sign may not be significant, a pattern of physical or behavioral signs is a serious indicator and should be reported.
Liability Protections Any person, official, or institution participating in good faith in any act authorized or required by law, or reporting in good faith any instance of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect to the department or any law enforcement agency, shall be immune from any civil or criminal liability which might otherwise result by reason of such action. (F.S. 39.203)
An employer who discloses information about a former or current employee to a prospective employer of the former or current employee upon request of the prospective employer or of the former or current employee is immune from civil liability for such disclosure or its consequences unless it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that the information disclosed by the former or current employer was knowingly false or violated any civil right of the former or current employee protected under F.S. Chapter 760. (F.S. 768.095).
