We don’t just accept the best — we create the best.
At ICON, we help young artists grow through bold academics and extraordinary real-world training.
We see potential — and turn it into something powerful.

Boston Conservatory at Berklee BFA Musical Theatre
At ICON, we see and support the whole artist.
Our small size means every student gets personal attention—not just in their major, but across disciplines.
Our faculty aren’t just teachers—they’re working professionals who guide, challenge, and collaborate with you every step of the way.
At ICON, tuition ranges from $1,000 to $25,000 per year, depending on each family’s financial circumstances. Through generous financial aid packages and scholarships, we make sure cost isn’t a barrier for talented, passionate students.
Many students attend ICON with tuition assistance.
We believe every young artist deserves access to exceptional training — and we’re here to support you.
