High School for Contemporary Arts

We are a collaborative learning community that combines a challenging curriculum consisting of humanities, science, and math with an intensive arts training program. We use state-of-the-art media technology. The Arts Studios bring together study in the traditional arts (dance, theatre, fine arts, and music) with contemporary arts (film, video/sound production, multimedia graphic design, and animation). Through our partnerships our students gain special residencies both within and outside the school. Our students have the opportunity to participate in special programs, performances, exhibitions, mentorships, and internships. The entire school is actively involved in the process of building a democratic, self-governing community.
