Welcome to the Canton Arts Academy where our mission is to raise student achievement through a standards-based integrated arts program.

 

Based on the unique strengths and needs of students who show giftedness and responsiveness to the arts, we seek to promote a lifelong love of learning. Our integrated arts and health-oriented curriculum uses the creative spirit of each student and the passion of its staff as a means of promoting achievement in any academic endeavor.

 

We define the role of education as "training our youth for competent citizenship," which indicates a well-rounded education in all disciplines, including a generous portion of time dedicated to the arts. Technology is utlitized to enhance academic performance. Through interactive learning through project-based units, students will inquire, explore, create and perform using all core academic areas, including the arts.

 

With its health and fitness component, the Canton Arts Academy addresses the direct impact that healthy school nutrition and physical conditioning can have on student achievement. This includes food literacy classes, healthy school meals and a comprehensive martial arts program.
