At ºÚÁϳԹÏ, creativity is the cornerstone of our curriculum. We foster students’ distinct voices in the visual and performing arts through our devoted faculty and diverse offerings. We are committed to challenging and expanding students’ understanding of themselves and the world through purposeful collaboration and creative engagement.
The arts encourage us to question, engage with, and understand the world from different perspectives. That’s why we consider the arts to be an academic discipline. In our classes, we blend skills development with the freedom to explore and express ideas. Our quality of instruction and resources, breadth of offerings, and opportunities for interdisciplinary study are nearly unmatched among secondary schools.
Our dedicated arts faculty, all accomplished arts professionals, bring a wealth of experience and passion to every lesson. Inspired by our students’ intelligence and drive, we tailor our teaching to their talents, ensuring that each individual receives the support they need to flourish. Our state-of-the-art Centennial Arts Center, Math and Arts Center, and Dance Studio provide spaces for process, presentation, and performance. Whatever your passion, here you’ll find a nurturing environment where creativity flourishes and dreams take flight.
Student Spotlight
“My favorite class at CA is definitely photography. It introduced me to something I never expected to love. The class offers a lot of freedom to express our artistic identities while still providing structure and guidance to help us steadily improve our skills. Capturing the details, light, and moments that I used to overlook is a creative and eye-opening experience.â€
“One of the CA moments that sticks with me most was from my first week of 9th grade year. One afternoon, I was with a group of people that I was only just getting to know, and someone suggested that we go hang out in one of the music rooms. Within five minutes, one of us had started playing the piano and the rest of us were singing in harmony. I remember feeling in that moment like I had finally found a place where I belonged.â€
