Overview Paragraph

LoMA is a small, multicultural school that focuses on academic excellence through the arts. We support each studentÂ’s intellectual, emotional, and cultural growth with the goal of success in a four-year college or career. Our students take additional math, science, reading, internship, and arts classes. Students work with artists during academic classes to create high quality, standards-based learning performances. We partner with many Lower East Side arts organizations so that every student takes part in an Extended Day Program at least twice a week. To support our studentsÂ’ success at meeting these higher standards, we maintain an intimate, nurturing community with a large number of adults watching over and taking care of our students.
