An exciting aspect of STARS Academy School's curriculum is the integration of various musicals that span history. For example, students explore American History through the lens of the hit musical Hamilton, studying the events and themes portrayed in the show. In their study of Western Civilization, students engage with the timeless masterpiece Les Miserables, gaining a deeper understanding of the historical context and human struggles depicted.
