About Us

Located in the heart of a residential community, the School for the Arts at Highpoint is a program offered by the Institute for Community, a 501c3 nonprofit organization designed to build a strong, supportive community right in our backyards. The School for the Arts is enthusiastic about helping each student discover their unique talents and passions. Offering midday and after-school programs, our talented instructors teach musical instruments, vocal studies, and visual arts, providing students with an outlet to express their artistic skills and find their creative voice. We are committed to fostering a safe, nurturing environment for each student to grow, explore, and reach their full potential.
