School Notes
At the Chicago Academy for the Arts, young artists master the
skills necessary for academic success, critical thought and
creative expression.It`s a place where the arts matter. It's a
place that doesn`t just teach the arts, but encourages students to
engage in, devour and fully live them. It's a place that believes
each individual`s voice is valuable. It's a place where academia
and artistry don't exist in separate worlds, but intertwine every
day to create a holistic learning experience.
