Welcome to the Academy of Arts and Sciences at School of the Arts. We are a small four-year high school with an arts-based, multidisciplinary curriculum. Students will participate in a regular arts program in disciplines such as Drama, Visual Arts, World Music, Instrumental Music, Vocal and Creative Writing. Students regularly are Physics and AP Environmental Science.

Overall, the small size of our school makes it a place where students feel known and teachers get to know students and their families very well, making for a positive and enriching high school experience.

The Academy offers all the courses needed for high school graduation as well as UC A-G requirements. We are located at 555 Portola Drive , sharing the same residence as The School Of The Arts. We will be pleased to answer any questions you may have about our school. You may email them to info@sotacad.org. Thank you for your interest!
