South Shore Conservatory (SSC), one of the largest community schools for the arts in New England, is a place that creates opportunities for people of all ages to shine in all the performing art forms: music of all genres and styles, dance, and drama. The SSC community includes infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged children, college students, and adults; some who prefer to participate, while others are more comfortable being audience members.

Staying true to its initial mission of making quality arts education accessible to the community, South Shore Conservatory offers an award-winning arts-integrated preschool, a youth orchestra and chorus, a special chorus for adults with developmental delays, plus school vacation camps and summer camps.
