Welcome to the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, an integrated magnet arts high school that is open through auditions to students in Greater Hartford area. Students attend their sending school in the morning and the Academy from 1:00 to 4:15 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The students spend 13 intensive hours per week pursuing artistic excellence under the guidance of practicing arts professionals who are the core faculty at the Academy.

The arts training program is designed to prepare students to pursue post-secondary studies and professional careers in dance, music, theater, creative writing, visual arts, film & TV, and theater design & production. The curriculum is professionally oriented, highly structured and academically rigorous. An Artists-in-Residence Program brings outstanding artists to the Academy for master classes and presentations. These professional contacts enrich the curriculum as well as provide a realistic perspective on artistic careers.

Performance is an integral part of the educational experiences of students at the Academy and numerous opportunities are provided. Open auditions are held for all Academy productions.

I invite you to pursue your dreams at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts.
