Tina, Zach’s mom says, “Zach absolutely loved The Maile School when he was first learning how to act! He always felt comfortable and welcomed, which was important to him as a young kid. Zach was not from Orlando, but was from Merritt Island, so we traveled an hour to attend classes. He feels like this was his best stepping stone! When parents ask me how he got started, I always mention The Maile School as the only professional acting studio available in Central Florida! We appreciate the solid foundation you provided to Zach.  Zach is now a senior in high school and applying to programs such as NYU, Carnegie Mellon and FSU!  In the meantime, he continues to pursue his passion for acting!”
