The Mount Everest Academy (MEA) Theatre Company provides free access to the theatre arts in one of San Diego's finest atypical public schools.
HISTORY Mt. Everest Academy (MEA) is a K-12 Independent Study school in San Diego that offers an alternative to traditional schools. Mt. Everest Academy offers a truly unique school option that includes flexibility for the highly motivated student to learn at home and in a classroom setting.
The MEA Theatre Company was founded in 2015 when Adira Rosen, a sixteen year old student at the school with a deep love for theatre, noticed the prominent lack of a theatre program. Rosen approached the school's principal with a proposal during the first week of September and practically overnight the school had it's very first theatre program. Since then Rosen has rallied students, parents, and staff members to perform, tech, and volunteer with the theatre company. The MEA Theatre Co is now a prominent part of the Mount Everest Academy community and a wonderful outlet that brings theatre into a public school.
