What Is An Arts High School?
Great question! Westinghouse Arts Academy is a public charter school with a curriculum specifically designed for students who are passionate about the arts. Arts High Schools are growing in popularity because they offer a warm, creative environment where students thrive and gain skills that get them ready for success after graduation.
What Makes An Arts High School Special?
One thing that makes Westinghouse Arts Academy stand out is our Programs. Every student gets to choose one of six areas to specialize in, like Dance, Digital Arts, Music, Literary Arts, Studio Arts, and Theatre Arts.
What about Math & Science?
Just because we’re an Arts High School doesn’t mean we ignore the basics. We make sure your arts classes are balanced with strong core subjects like English, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Health. These classes work alongside your arts curriculum to make sure you get a well-rounded education that prepares you for whatever comes next.
What Kind of Students Attend Arts High School?
In a word: creative! Students at Westinghouse Arts come from all kinds of backgrounds and have lots of different interests. Some have been dancing since they could walk, while others are just starting to explore their creative side – and that’s totally fine! With open enrollment, students interested in the arts and inspired to grow their skills can enroll at any time. What keeps our students here is the small, supportive community where everyone truly cares about each other.
What Comes After Graduation?
At Westinghouse Arts, we believe every student has a unique future. To guide you, we offer three career pathways to help you move forward – whether you’re heading straight into the workforce, planning to attend college, or aiming for a career in a creative industry. Plus, many of our students win awards and skill-based scholarships to help fund their next steps. Whatever your dreams are, we’ll support you in reaching them.
