Official Description

Original

Take one step into Rainbow High, and you know it’s like no other high school. There’s a driving pace, like a bass line thrumming through the walls. The buildings vibrate with magical realism: colors glow brighter, fabrics swish and dance, sculptures seem to move with you as you pass, and you can’t tell if it’s real or just your brain overwhelmed by the dizzying creative energy thrumming all around you. If you’re an artist, and you have something to say, and you’re ready to grab the world by its collar and shake it ‘til it stands up and listens, you want to go to Rainbow High. Check that – you NEED to go to Rainbow High. It’s the most elite fine arts school in the world. Its graduates become premier fashion designers, visual-effects artists, costume designers, Imagineers, lighting designers, sculptors, sound engineers, fashion magazine editors… paradigm-changers go to Rainbow High. And if they can make it through four years in its high-pressure crucible, they can make it through anything. Just hope and pray you’ve got the chops to make it because there are no second chances if you get cut.

Repost

It's the first day of RAINBOW HIGH and your favorite colorful teens are having a fun time meeting their new roommates. And they already have a BIG project - the runway fashion show! Can the teams work together to create amazing looks that will impress Lou Wright, the HEAD of Rainbow High??

It’s time to go back and rewatch all of your favorites from Season 1 of Rainbow High!

Plot

A group of girls panic over their runway show. With no fashion or Amaya in sight, they are set to start in 10 minutes. But things didn’t start out that way and the video rewinds to the beginning.

Back on the first day, Violet Willow and her best friend, Sunny Madison arrive at Rainbow High, the top visual arts high school anywhere. While filming for The Vi Life, they meet the upperclassmen, Avery Styles, Aidan Russell, and Ainsley, also known as the A's. The girls then get settled into their new dorm rooms. Violet purposely separated her and Sunny in order to make new friends, much to Sunny’s disappointment. In her dorm, Violet meets her roommates, Ruby Anderson, Jade Hunter, and Bella Parker. Meanwhile, Sunny becomes more upset to see a picture of Violet with her new friends. Her roommates, Skyler Bradshaw and Poppy Rowan cheer her up on the way to class.

Ruby, Poppy, Sunny, Jade, Skyler, Violet, and Bella are all assigned together as a group and meet Lou Wright, the head of Rainbow High. She tasks the girls with a semester project, which is to put on a fashion show. If they failed, they will be cut from school, leaving them where they are now. An exciting journey awaits them.
