ABOUT

At the Arts Academy Full Day High School, students are challenged to push themselves as students and artists. Our classes use project-based learning and standards based grading so that students can take ownership of their learning and know exactly where they stand when it comes to skills and concepts. Through our academic and artistic projects, performances, and celebrations, we want every student to find and empower their voice so that they can tell their powerful and unique story.

Integrated throughout the school day are a variety of arts courses. Students chose from these course offerings as they design their own path of creativity and discovery. Classes are taught by Artist Instructors who are professionals in their field.

Our Arts Classes Include

• Creative Writing
• Dance
• Filmmaking
• Media Arts
• Music (Vocal & Instrumental)
• Theater
• Visual & Textile Arts

The students and faculty at the CREC Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts all come from a diverse racial, ethnic, and socio-economic population. The Academy Family is a proud multi-cultural community dedicated to acceptance, social justice, and empowerment. Our essential “Academy Family Values” are commitment, collaboration, and leadership. We celebrate students who demonstrate these qualities both inside and outside the classroom.
