3 Reasons Families Love
Academic School 4 Arts
Academic School 4 Arts is a K–8 performing arts micro school in Cooper City that blends serious academics with a school day packed with music, dance, theater, and visual arts. With small class sizes and personalized attention, students are truly seen and supported. Here are three of the biggest reasons Broward County families tell us they choose AS4A.
Academics Blended With The Arts
At most schools, the arts are a once-a-week "special." At AS4A, K–8 students blend a full academic curriculum with professional music, visual arts, dance, and acting classes every single day. Families tell us their children finally feel excited to come to school because their passion is built into the schedule, not squeezed in at the end.
Strong Academics And Critical Thinking
We're an arts school and an academic school. Our curriculum meets and exceeds Florida state standards in math, language arts, science/STEM, social studies, and PE. Teachers use the arts to make lessons come alive, so students learn to think critically and express their ideas with confidence.
A Nurturing Micro School With Big Opportunities
As a micro school, AS4A feels close-knit and personal. Teachers and staff know each student by name, notice their strengths, and support their growth as both learners and artists. Students cheer each other on at performances, auditions, and showcases. Many families use Step Up For Students and our performing arts scholarships to make AS4A possible, opening doors to training and opportunities they couldn't find in a larger, traditional school.
