Art
At York Early College Academy, our arts department consists of theater, music, and visual arts. In middle school, our students take theater in 6th grade, visual arts in 7th grade, and music in 8th grade. At the end of 8th grade, our students then choose which "arts" course they would like to pursue in high school. Our goal is to expose our students to the different forms of art while in middle school, have them identify their passion, and then, expand on it when they are in high school during grades 9 and 10.
