Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Reviews
Rating 3.76 out of 5 178 reviews
I loved my time here! The teachers and administration are very supportive, kind, and very understanding. If you feel overwhelmed, it's super easy to work something out with your teachers and guidance counselor. They offer a lot of artistic opportunities to students to help get their work known and activate their creative spark. Personally, through the artistic activities and assignments, I fell back in love with poetry. Also I feel I should mention lunch is free for everyone! Everyone is allowed to express themselves however they want, and just be who they are. I love it!
I honestly can not recommend any changes to this high school, it is two campuses of pure awesomeness! I loved both schools, the academics and arts equally. Switching to the arts school my junior year was one of the best choices I have ever made. I recall not being happy in my previous school due to choice of classes and the environment. Switching was what I needed. The school's motto is "Academy is family" and it really is, I can vouch for that. My transition was very smooth, the teachers are welcoming, and the overall environment is positive. I loved each of my two years there, and would recommend it to any student who loves dance, music, art, theater, writing. The school has every art and educational need and supports what you as an overall student. I hope it gets all the love and support as well from past and future students, as it has brought many graduates very far in life, I love Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts and wish the school, and its faculty nothing but the best!
GHAA was a lifeline for myself and allowed me to pursue a future in technical theater and stage management that I would not have been able to pursue otherwise. Though some of the teachers expect a lot from you, they always give you the tools to succeed and help you find new ways of looking at things. Even though it was an arts focused school, I found that I got a very well-rounded education, both in the arts and in general education!
