Our Mission
To prepare each learner for lifelong success through personalized, inquiry-based education combining art and core academic standards. We believe in education that is student-centered, community-focused, and relevant to our world.
Integrated Arts Academy is a public high school founded on research linking academic success to the arts and hands-on learning experiences. Our curriculum embeds culinary, horticulture and visual arts into core subjects such as English, math, science, and social studies. The rich arts-integrated instruction, small school size (~80 students), and strong community partnerships offer students a true personalized high school education.
Personalized Learning Happens Here
Culinary Arts
Culinary Arts
Students learn culinary techniques and management skills hands-on from their culinary instructor in the classroom, but also gain experience from off campus learning experiences to places like local food markets, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Our ProStart class is an advanced course in which students compete at the state level.
Integrated Science
Integrated Science
In our science classes we cultivate an interest in the world around us through the study of Environment, Chemistry, Physics and Horticultural Biology. Our emphasis is on inquiry, experience and discovery through labs, research and weekly partnership learning experiences.
Visual Arts
Visual Arts
Our art program provides students with fundamental knowledge on the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. Through hands-on learning to encourage our students' exploration, they gain an appreciation of visual arts.

Our areas of study include ceramics, sculpture, drawing, painting, mixed media, photography, and AP art.

As we conclude the school year, I would like to express my gratitude for the partnership you've demonstrated throughout the year.
Together, we carried the torch through challenges, growth, and celebrations, with one purpose: to support our students. That torch was lifted by families encouraging from home, students showing up each day with courage and curiosity, and a community committed to learning and belonging.
The impact of this year is immeasurable. What we’ve done together has helped shape not just what students know, but who they are becoming as they prepare for what’s next.

The report, which reviewed the district’s financial position, cost containment strategies to date, and potential avenues to generate revenue, was a precursor to a board decision later this summer on a potential operating referendum.
