"If you have been a student at BPAC then you already know the reason they are so special. Every student, no matter talent or skill is treated with kindness and understanding. They are self-esteem focused and fun-loving but willing to challenge their students and meet them at their level.  Some of my favorite memories are of putting on productions and making friends at my acting and dance lessons.
