Arizona School for the Arts is a non-profit public charter school in Phoenix, Arizona. Emphasis is placed on a college preparatory curriculum and the performing arts. Its mascot is a one-legged pigeon named Stumpy.
It was founded in 1995 by Dr. Mark Francis, [2] with 155 students in grades 7–10. By 2002, it had grown to 280 students. In 2005, it was honored as a Blue Ribbon school. [3]
In 2008, it bought two buildings adjacent to its existing campus as demand for growth increased. This growth has allowed ASA to expand its enrollment by 80 high school students between 2007 and 2010.
School begins at 7:45 AM. Students in grades 9-12 attend five academic classes in the morning and arts courses in the afternoon. Middle school students in 5-8 have two academic classes in the morning, two arts classes, then three academics in the afternoon. All students take math, English, science, and social studies; high school students take French or Spanish; and middle school students take piano, a class called Life Skills, and choir. Middle school students are allowed to pick one art (band, orchestra, dance, theatre, or guitar) in addition to piano and choir. High school students are allowed to pick both of their art courses and can pay to take a third after official school hours end; middle school students also are allowed to do the same. Starting sophomore year, high school students can be selected to take AP classes to earn college credits. The school shuts its doors at 4:30 PM every day unless specifically noted.
Each winter, choir students in all grades perform a winter themed concert at Brophy College Preparatory or Camelback Bible Church. The concert takes place in December and usually begins at 7:30 PM. It usually ends at 9:30 PM. Specific students from band, orchestra, and dance are sometimes asked to provide accompaniment/dance entertainment during the pieces. There is usually an intermission halfway through the performance.
This is the school's biggest performance of the year. Every student participates and performs their art in some way. There are two performances and they are both different. It is a performance for family and friends to attend to see their hard-working students. It is performed at the Orpheum Theatre near the school. The rehearsals for the performance begin after the last day of academic classes, in late May. Students rehearse for two weeks until the performances which happen in late May or early June. The show is run backstage by students in technical theater, and for singing acts, band or orchestra students play in the pit. The show sometimes has a plot behind it, but it is mostly a revue of sorts with an overall theme.
