An Integration of Academics and the Arts

The Academy of Arts combines arts and academics in a way in which the two support and complement each other. This combination creates a powerful learning experience, using the arts as a web to unite all areas of curriculum.

Core academics feature a rigorous college-preparatory program including math, science, social studies, and world language. Our school is committed to encouraging all students to think creatively and independently, to question, and to be active participants in their education and their community.

 

The Arts as a Model

The arts provide a model for lifelong learning. Artists use a learning cycle in their craft: a process which includes planning, rehearsal, production, assessment, performance, and reflection. This cycle trains students to be persistent, to develop craftsmanship, and practice essential thinking behaviors that are the key to success in school and in life.

 

A Culture of Academic Achievement

Students at the Academy of Arts will take a full, college-preparatory course load. All students will acquire the coursework, knowledge, and skills necessary to succeed in post-secondary education and the workplace. High standards and a culture of reflection and revision require students to strive for their personal best.

 

Academic Partnerships

In addition to studying with our faculty, students will have the opportunity to work with a variety of professional artists. We are developing productive partnerships with community arts organizations who will be collaborating with us in the classroom and in the community.
