Arkansas Arts Academy is the ultimate K–12 choice for excellence in arts and education.
We believe that an arts-based approach to learning promotes creative expression and an enhanced academic experience. Our mission is to provide a rigorous academic program with a purposeful integration of the arts. We challenge our students academically while providing them with an arts-enhanced curriculum.
Located in Rogers, Arkansas, we are an open-enrollment public charter school offering fine arts education to K–12 students. We are the second oldest and one of the largest charter schools in the state. Our goal is to make Arkansas Arts Academy a nationally recognized institution that will draw students from all over Northwest Arkansas, the state, and the region.
