Q44 1
East Fordham Academy for the Arts provides all students with the opportunity to select from a menu of visual arts, music, theater, and/or dance as an Arts elective, and study their chosen art form for three years.
Our comprehensive Arts programs gives students the opportunity to develop their talents in a variety of dance genres such as, jazz, cultural, ballroom, and performance dance. Students can also practice chorus, vocals, concert band, sculpting, sketching, painting, set design and mural design.
In addition, we have partnerships with various cultural organizations, including Bronx Arts Ensemble, Broadway Jr., Doing Art Together!, and Dancing Classrooms. Through these partnerships, we are able to provide students with direct Arts education with experts in various fields.
Our Arts goal for the 2016-2017 school year is for students to express themselves in various art forms through performances, develop leadership skills by sharing performance and classroom responsibilities, articulate connections between the Arts and their own emerging identities as artists, and become informed about the live performances they will attend. Our ultimate goal is to become the model Middle School for the Arts in New York City.
