Creative Explorations Division
Group programs taught inside the school — an on-ramp to the arts that brings the conservatory’s standard into the classroom. Many of these partnerships begin with a parent who asks their own school to invite us.
Why schools work with us. The Montgomery Business Association champions local business and community life in Montgomery, New Jersey, supporting its members through events, partnerships, and a shared commitment to the town. Sabina Patel was invited to join its Board of Directors on March 18, 2026. She serves as a Director at Large and Co-Chairs the School & Community Partnerships committee — which connects local schools with the wider community — alongside Cory Wingerter, President of the Association, and Barbara Preston, Editor-in-Chief of The Montgomery News. Bringing the arts into schools is not a sideline for us — it is work our founder does for the wider community as well as for this conservatory.

Parents are welcome to inquire. Tell us your child’s school and we will send you everything you need to put to them.
How it works. Creative Explorations works differently from our private instruction. The school runs registration for its group classes and agrees payment with its own families — nothing is signed with us by a parent, and nothing is paid to us by a parent. Once the school has its group in place, we sign an agreement with the school itself to bring the classes in.
