Academy goals transcend those of traditional
high schools. The Academy provides educational opportunities
in the arts to students in cooperation with Greater Hartford
area school districts. The Academy, a college preparatory
arts training school, consistently strives to:
- Attract artistically gifted students
from the Greater Hartford community at large
- Accept a racially and ethnically
diverse student body and to provide its student population
with ample opportunity for growth and maturation through
cooperative work and learning
- Prepare students for college, university,
professional school or for professional career entry
- Educate the whole child by fostering
their development of perception, conceptualization, sensitivity,
and creativity
- Enhance the educational opportunities
of the student body through an outreach of performance opportunities
within the wider constituency
- Reduce racial/socio-economic imbalance
and isolation as an interdistrict participant through its
diverse student enrollment, staff, and in its curriculum,
thus raising awareness, appreciation, and understanding
of diversity
- Serve as an arts educational model
for the state and the nation as a high quality college preparatory
arts training program
- Provide educational choice to parents
and students in the Greater Hartford region
- Improve the opportunity for academic
success through the arts
- Provide for continuity and upgrading
of in-depth course offerings in each art area
- Provide for a safe environment
for learning
- Develop a supportive environment
that includes parents involvement through the Advisory Council
and the Parents and Friends Association
- Develop educational relationships
and programs to be available to a wide community of middle-school
age learners, their parents, artists, and the general public
