The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts

The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts offers basic and advanced study in seven arts areas – music, theatre, dance, visual arts, film and television, theatre production and design, and creative writing. The educational goals of the program are to develop talent in high school students, thereby developing their self-confidence and self-esteem; to enhance understanding of and appreciation for cultural diversity; to foster flexible ways of thinking; to engage the imagination; and to expose students to performances by professional artists. Students attend classes at RHAM High School in the morning and take classes at the Academy until 4:00 PM.  Freshmen taking all their required courses plus a World Language at RHAM and attending the Academy have an intense workload. Once the application process is complete and the child has been accepted, they should think carefully before making a decision to enroll.

Students must audition to be accepted into the Academy.
