Things To Do

Arkansas Arts Academy

Arkansas Arts Academy (AAA) is a PreK–12, lottery-based, open-enrollment public charter school committed to academic excellence through arts-integrated learning. By aligning state content standards with innovative, creative arts instruction, we ensure every student is supported, challenged, and assessed equitably according to their individual learning needs. AAA fosters an inclusive, compassionate community built on collaboration, reflection, and meaningful student engagement.

We believe every student brings unique gifts and abilities. Our learning model is designed to discover, develop, and celebrate those talents through intentional exploration, self-awareness, and connection to the world around them. With exceptional educators across the visual and performing arts—as well as core academic subjects—AAA provides a learning environment where students are guided, inspired, and encouraged to thrive. Students also benefit from rich off-campus experiences, visiting teaching artists, and curated learning partnerships with regional museums.

Beyond arts integration in daily instruction, AAA offers a full range of scaffolded arts courses from PreK through 12th grade. Students grow their skills through exhibitions, performances, and creative showcases each year, ultimately preparing for advanced high school arts pathways that connect them to internships, postsecondary opportunities, and college and career readiness.
