Our Curriculum

A+ Arts Academy offers core academic classes with dedicated teachers in small classes within a small school environment. In addition to mathematics, language arts, social studies and science, we offer a wide variety of art classes, drama, choir, life skills and physical education.

Our scholars explore the world of art through ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, drama, choir, band, dance, flags, and other means of artistic expression. We believe in the value of an arts-enhanced education.

Effective teaching and learning must take place in an environment that is disciplined, organized and controlled. We promote self-discipline and self-control while practicing preventative rather than punitive discipline. 

Our teachers are certified, licensed and experienced. Classes are small to better serve the diverse educational needs of our students. The rules and expectations that guide and govern student behavior at A+ Arts Academy are clearly explained and consistently enforced.
