Dear TxCAA,

The countdown is on! The first day of school, Gala, Conservatory classes, and a FULL season of performances is fast approaching and we couldn't be more excited! Our theme for this year's Convocation is ✨Educators Create Magic✨. We are looking forward to having ALL of our faculty and staff in ONE place to celebrate our mission and prepare for another magical year!

There's Still Time to Join Us THIS School Year

We are accepting applications through August 14th! Texas School of the Arts (TeSA) has spots open in Grades K-5 and Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts (FWAFA) is accepting applications for spots in Grades 10-12.

A few reasons to audition for TeSA and FWAFA:

✨ Tuition-free access to daily instruction in Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Art.

✨ Students who receive arts education are 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement.

✨ The arts teach skills employers are looking for like problem solving, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.

✨ Students who take four years or more of arts and music classes score an average of over 150 points higher on the SAT than students who take only one-half year or less.

✨ Through collaboration and individualized, creative instruction, our teachers create a sense of belonging among students.

NEW This Year:

THEATRE CONSERVATORY

In it's first year, Texas Theatre Conservatory will provide a wide range of classes and activities including Acting, Musical Theatre, Theatre Design, and more!

CHOREOGRAPHY

Become a dancer, teacher, creator, and director all in one class! In this class, students will bring their own creativity to the table to choreograph pieces for one another. While there will be a focus on creative expression, this also an opportunity to collaborate and work as a team.

EXPRESSIVE ART

Tell your story through art! Throughout history, we have passed on stories to younger generations through cave paintings, songs, sculptures, etc. This class will explore different mediums and encourage artmaking as a regular practice for every student.

INTRO TO MUSIC THEORY

Taught by FWAFA alumnus and professional musician, Keith Groh, this class offers a great foundation in music theory which will equip young musicians with the tools to read and write music.
