"Where leaders grow up!"
About Us
Cultural Arts Academy Charter School at Spring Creek is a bold, new vision for public education in the East New York section of Brooklyn, New York. The mission of Cultural Arts Academy Charter School is to provide an exemplary K-12 college preparatory arts education program that promotes superior scholarship and strong cultural arts proficiency. Cultural Arts Academy Charter School has personalized, print-rich classrooms and multi-sensory instructional approaches that will provide order, security, high expectations and opportunities for students to explore, discover, research and investigate. The research-based curriculum and instructional practices reflect an interdisciplinary arts-infused approach interwoven into the sciences, humanities and mathematics. The integration of the arts will enable students to think independently, reason cogently, and gain skills in decision-making, problem solving, collaboration and self-management, and assist them in mastering the New York State Common Core Standards. Our students will graduate with a Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation through the Arts.
CAACS brings both initiatives together in one synergistic learning model. Our goal at Cultural Arts Academy Charter School is to fully prepare our students for college, career, and citizenship. CAACS celebrates student voice and choice, particularly through our visual and performing arts, athletics, and our annual signature programs: tennis at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center, swimming at the Asphalt Green Facility, participation in the American Debate League, the National Elementary Honor Society, and extended learning experiences to museums and the like. Our students participate in the SIFMA Foundation’s Invest It Forward initiative that connects financial professionals with our students in a classroom setting to deepen students’ understanding of the capital markets and financial systems.
