Central associates vs Elmhurst ext associates

[Mummy twinkle toes]

I was just wondering whether anyone has experience of both schemes? Central seems to offer more in terms of genres and hours. Dd1 would like to go there in the future. Central have suggested she apply for assoc but it would mean leaving Elmhurst if she got the place.

My daughter does Central associates and absolutely loves it. The staff are lovely and you know exactly what’s going on. Lots of opportunities for Easter and summer schools as well.

My dd was offered places on both. She accepted Elmhurst as at the time we felt she would not manage the travelling and the long day at Central alongside GCSE’s.

With the benefit of hindsight I wish she’d done Central as I believe she would have benefited more from doing the Contemporary classes. 

Difficult decision for you though.

Thanks both. Both are long journeys for us but at least with the Central one she would do more. Dd is worried about leaving Elmhurst but I think she would benefit more from Central. She has to audition yet mind and be re-assessed for Elms so it may not be an issue at all🤔 Time will tell.
