The Arts Overview

Aligned with the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework, the Dance, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts Programs give LACHSA's talented students comprehensive, sequential training and many performance/exhibition opportunities to develop their artistic potential to the fullest. Students may also take classes in Film and Musical Theatre (admission by audition). This rigorous training provided by a distinguished faculty of professional artists prepares them to earn admission to the college or university of their choice - which more than 95% of the students elect to do - or to enter their arts field directly. Along the way, many win local, state and national merit awards and scholarships for artistic excellence. The nurturing environment created by the inspiring faculty, supportive administration and the diverse and passionate student body of young artists gives Arts High's teens encouragement to grow artistically to levels beyond what even they could imagine. With support from the Los Angeles Office of Education, parents and the Arts High Foundation, the arts programs help the students fulfill their dreams.
