About Us

The academy is designed to foster project-based learning inviting students to meet real-world goals and objectives while meeting A-G requirements for high school graduation. ArtVenture branches off into three career pathways: art, theater, and digital media. Each pathway entails a three year plan which includes English, science, history, and a core elective in addition to other required classes outside the academy. AP and ROP classes in the arts and digital media are available to students who wish to engage in internships and a mentoring experience. Teachers in the academy work collaboratively to design projects which are integral to students’ lives and reflect real-world topics as well as meet standards within each core discipline.

The ArtVenture Academy seeks to promote 21st Century Skills through a variety of academic and artistic literacies and mediums which will guide students through 21st century life and the careers to which they may aspire. Critical thinking reminds teachers and students that there are always things to learn, decisions to be made, and problems to be solved. Communication and collaboration remind us that relationships are important and stories are to be told and valued. Finally, creativity sparks the inner life which offers the possibility of both intrinsic and extrinsic joy to the artist and her audience.
