Established by the Rapides Parish School Board, the Bolton Conservatory for the Visual  & Performing Arts is a school like no other in Central Louisiana.  Housed in historic Bolton High School in the heart of the Garden District of Alexandria, the Bolton Conservatory offers intensive training and performance opportunities far beyond the normal high school experience in vocal music, visual arts, theatre, dance, orchestral strings, and band.  Bolton Conservatory students enjoy enhanced training in their respective disciplines through the expert guidance of a faculty who are professional performers in their own right.
