Encyclopedia
The Queensland Academy for Creative Industries (QACI) is a high school
in Queensland
, Australia
. Central to the academy's ideals is the education of the "creative generation", hoping to provide a platform for students to pursue careers in traditional arts fields such as film and television, music, visual art, and the performing arts; as well as other creative fields such as new media, marketing and communications, built environment design (architecture, industrial design, interior design, urban design and development, etc.), and arts management.
The Queensland Academy for Creative Industries seeks to build partnerships with leading artistic leaders and organizations, to further the potential of the artistic student population of Queensland. The Academy currently is the Brisbane base for NIDA (National Institute for Dramatic Arts) workshops and lessons. The theatre and gallery spaces are commonly used by world renowned artists and performers to exhibit their work, which exposes the students to the potential in the creative industries.
The Queensland Academy for Creative Industries is the first artistic, creatively and academic driven school in Queensland to only offer the International Baccalaureate and not the traditional OP system. The students are selected through a process of testing, interviews, and finally auditions, to determine whether they will be suited to the demands of the academy. QACI has a strong focus on academia but an oppitunity like no other to be creative in art forms provided above. The students are encouraged to incorporate IT devices and technologies into their everyday study and lessons, through the use of Apple Macbook laptops.
QACI has a partnership with the Queensland University of Technology
