National Conservatory Of Dramatic Arts

The National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts offers DC's only accredited actor training studio program. We've been preparing people for careers in acting since 1975. Our immersive training ensures graduates enter the job market with a strong foundation in the craft of acting, the business savvy to be successful in a competitive market, and a network of professional contacts. Students work closely with a faculty of professional actors, directors, producers, and screenwriters and playwrights who are actively working in theater, film, and television. Tuition at NCDA is competitively priced for the area and dramatically lower than similar acting classes in LA and NYC. The Conservatory is licensed by the Higher Education Licensure Commission of the District of Columbia, Accredited by The Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges and approved by the US Department of Education for participation in the Title IV Federal Financial Aid Programs, making students eligible to apply for financial aid in the form of grants, and student loans. Licensure and Accreditation ensure that the curriculum is continually reviewed by a panel of education experts and industry professionals.
