A Charter School is a publically funded independently run school. Each charter is unique and has greater flexibility in operations compared to traditional public schools. Charter schools offer choice for families looking for a school that will be a “right fit” for their child.

IAA is a middle and high school serving students grades 6-12.

We are a tuition free charter school.

IAA does not require an audition or any specific background in the majors or electives we offer. Our goal is to provide a solid academic foundation, expose students to our areas of concentration (Graphic Design, Culinary Arts, Journalism and Fashion Design), and explore other electives.
