About Us
There’s only one Interlochen.
Since 1928, Interlochen has welcomed artists and arts enthusiasts from around the globe to hone their creative talents, develop visionary ideas, and share in an intangible magic that can’t be found anywhere else.
Students in grades 3-12, as well as adults of all ages, are invited to join powerful education programs that create community and unlock world-changing artistry. Beyond backgrounds and countries of origin, we stand united through the universal language of the arts.
Interlochen encompasses seven distinct program areas, each designed to propel arts education and engagement: Interlochen Arts Camp, Interlochen Arts Academy, Interlochen Online, Interlochen Public Radio, Interlochen Presents, Interlochen Hospitality, and Interlochen College of Creative Arts.
Fostering Transformation and Growth
At Interlochen, young artists transform artistically and personally through our programs. We are continually pushing ourselves to find new ways to stretch talents, build confidence, and help artists find their unique voice. Our students emerge from their Interlochen experience standing taller, imbued with a strong sense of purpose and possibility.
Leading to Inspire
Our phenomenal faculty and staff are committed to the students they serve and the mission they model. They set a high bar not only for artistic excellence—as many are practicing artists themselves—but also for effective mentorship. They embrace their role to inspire the next generation of creative changemakers.
Creating Lifelong Connection
The strong sense of community found in the Interlochen experience bonds generations of artists. Our alumni remain connected to this place, to their peers, to the indelible time they spent at Interlochen—always.
Forging a Legacy of World-Changers
Across the globe, Interlochen alumni are achieving excellence in the arts, and many are leaders in other fields. From healthcare to government and technology to education, our alumni make an impact wherever they choose to dedicate their energy and skills.
