My Info
About
UAMA is a small arts themed public high school in Downtown Brooklyn/DUMBO founded in 2005. The UA School of Music and Art prepares students for college and the world of work. Our program integrates literacy and the arts into all aspects of our instructional program. Students learn to be critical thinkers and creative communicators by capitalizing on our students' love of the arts and their desire to engage in self-expression. UAMA infuses a rigorous early college curriculum along side the arts. We do not require special auditions or portfolios for application, believing that all students benefit from an arts education and should have access to early college opportunities. Our Programs: Bard Early College Academy @ the UA School of Music & Art Students can take up to 6 semesters of dual HS and College Credit through Bard College with up to 4 additional college courses through the National Equity Lab in addition to opportunities to take college courses at LIU and City Tech all at no cost to the student. This allows students to graduate high school with over a year's worth of college credits. CREATORS ACADEMY @ the UA School of Music & Art The Creators Academy is a student choice, in school day, credited arts program. The choices include classical, digial arts, entrepreneurial, and social media marketing training that builds capacity to engage in the critical thinking, collaborative, and creative skills that students will need to be successful in the rapidly evolving 21st century workforce.
