Lawson Academy of the Arts at Converse University The Lawson Academy of the Arts at Converse University offers quality instruction in music and dance for all ages from preschoolers to adults. Join us!

Over 1000 families each year are served by our excellent faculty, in a professional yet nurturing atmosphere. Founded in 1944, the Lawson Academy of the Arts at Converse College offers quality instruction in music and dance with an excellent faculty, in a professional yet nurturing environment. We serve over 1,000 families each year and encourage students of all ages from preschoolers to adults to join us. The Lawson Academy also functions as a "lab school," introducing Converse music and dance students to the experience of teaching. This experience crosses over to the full arts spectrum during the summer when Converse students staff our Fine Arts Day Camp, where they teach classes in visual arts, creative writing, dance, music, and theatre. In addition, our Lawson Band and smaller chamber ensembles provide wonderful collaborative opportunities for students. The Lawson Academy affords the opportunity for Converse College and the Spartanburg community to share in a wonderful learning experience.
