City Academy 
Music & Visual Art Education

“Creativity is contagious, pass it on.” (Albert Einstein)

City Academy has a strong commitment to arts education. Even as a small school, and with arts budgets in public schools being reduced across the state, we have prioritized wonderful, rich learning opportunities in the arts in our curriculum for over 20 years. We are proud of both the music and the visual arts programs we offer for their attention to developing skill and building excellence while also nurturing each student to find their own artistic expression.

Gifted Music School

We partner with Gifted Music School (GMS), an established premier music school located on our joint campus. Their faculty provides exemplary music instruction and mentorship. They offer classes and private lessons in 12 instruments including piano, strings, woodwinds, guitar, and ukulele, as well as in voice, composition, and music theory.
Middle school students
Middle school students at City Academy can request to pursue music as a primary emphasis in their elective studies. With no formal audition or application process, the courses in this cohort program are structured to broadly serve students of varying musical backgrounds and disciplines.
High school students
High school students have the opportunity to take group music classes such as voice and guitar taught by GMS teachers. They may also take private music lessons and/or have practice time as a part of their regular school day schedule.

"Thank you for giving my son the opportunity to work with his GMS voice teacher. He is now also going to work on piano lessons!! I would never have thought he was interested but amazing things happen when we let our kids explore and grow. Thanks to City for these opportunities and the rest of the amazing extracurricular ops that you all provide!"
