Strong academics. Real performing arts. A school your child will actually love.
A rigorous education and real training in dance, theater, music, and visual art, PreK through 12th grade, tuition free, across Gilbert and Mesa.
You want more for your child than “fine.”
Most parents who find us were looking for something their current school wasn’t giving them. If any of these sound like your child, you’re in the right place.
They’ve checked out
School feels like something to get through. They’re capable, but nothing about the day excites them anymore.
They’re creative, and you worry that means weaker academics
You shouldn’t have to choose between a child who loves the arts and a child who’s challenged academically. Here, they get both.
They get lost in the crowd
In a big class, a quieter kid can go unnoticed for months. Your child should be known by name, not by seat number.

We don’t make kids decide between school and their passion.
Rigorous curriculum every day
Daily doses of reading, writing, math, science and social studies are the only thing that’s non-negotiable on a student’s schedule.
Arts deeply integrated in our curriculum
Dance, theater, music and visual art are not electives we can lose with budget cuts. They are fundamental to our existence.
Every student is known and cared for
A lower teacher-to-student ratio means that every teacher knows and understands your child: where he or she excels, struggles, and what sparks the child’s curiosity.
