Developing artists through skill, creativity, and leadership
A Progressive Approach to Art Education
At Catapult Academy, students explore a wide range of artistic media while building strong artistic foundations. Through small-group instruction and guidance from professional visual artists, students develop creativity and independence while using the studio as a platform to practice leadership, communication, and decision-making.
Explore Diverse Media
Drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media build a broad foundation in the visual arts.
Art + Leadership
Students develop confidence, communication, decision-making, and presentation skills alongside their artistic practice.
Personalized Development
Small groups allow our artist-mentors to guide each student according to their skills and interests.
Kids and Teen Art Classes

Through drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking, students build strong foundational skills while developing their individual artistic voices.
