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.
It was founded in 1995 by Mark S. Francis, 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.
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.
Students attend five academic classes in the morning and arts courses 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 and a class called Life Skills. There are no electives.
