Creative Arts Academy

The Creative Arts Academy is Cuyahoga Community College’s preparatory program for pre-college students ages three to adult. We offer private and group lessons to students of all experience levels and backgrounds. Students study with distinguished faculty artists who are passionate about determining students’ needs and strengths, and maximizing those to provide the most rewarding experience possible.

We believe a vibrant arts curriculum creates a clear pathway to college. Participation in our programs – dance, media arts, music, and summer immersions – instills discipline, respect and a deep sense of interconnectivity among our students. We feel that investing in our students will heal and strengthen our community in profound ways.

Not only do we offer programming virtually and on our campuses, but also within the community. Through a profound partnership with and investment from the Cleveland Foundation (CF), our free Dance and Vocal Mastery programs are able to be hosted at various locations throughout the city - giving Cleveland children access to high-quality arts programs in their neighborhoods.
