Founded in 1971, the Academy of Arts exists to train and inspire the next generation of servant leaders to properly use the universal gift of communication for others’ good and God’s glory.
The Academy of Arts is excited to offer an incredible workshop opportunity for high school students for the Answers Homeschool Experience at the Ark Encounter this spring!
Since 1973, The Academy of Arts has been working with young people from all over the country through its drama seminar program. The drama seminar program is a week-long intensive with elementary and high school students where the students perform a full-scale production at the end of one week. While there is not time for a full week, Answers in Genesis is allowing us to do a mini seminar at this year’s homeschool experience!
This information includes how your student can be involved in these upcoming sessions! We hope you will join us for this exciting experience of performing a portion of Kingdom’s Dawn at the end of the conference!
If you have any questions, please contact us at conferences@theAcademyofArts.org!
