One of the unique features of Arts Academy in the Woods is our focus on interdisciplinary learning.

We understand that not every student will pursue a career as an artist but we believe that exposure to art education will benefit them regardless of what path they choose after graduation from high school or college/university studies later on down life's journey. The skills learned through studying art such as problem-solving abilities/imagination/time-management/teamwork/self-expression/confidence/public speaking/presentation skills/etc., are transferable across many different fields including business/law/engineering/science/etc., making it valuable knowledge no matter what career path one chooses later on down life's journey.
