Overview Paragraph

This is a small high school focused on arts and arts-related careers. Students collaborate on creative projects such as performances, art exhibits, poetry slams, and publications. Each semester begins with an interdisciplinary inquiry project. We use the city as our classroom, taking frequent field work trips to museums, cultural and community-based organizations, and workplaces. The advisory system ensures that all students receive personalized support and academic guidance. Internships in the arts industries such as Music, Fashion, Design, and Performing Arts offer real-world experience and contacts.
