Powered by GoogleWe saw CSA’s production of Chicago, teen edition today and were blown away - the music, set, acting, dancing, everything was just terrific. It was hard to believe those were high school students. It was really impressive. We are so lucky to have CSA in Fort Smith.
I am very impressed with the philosophy of the art Institute, I'm grateful for the opportunities that await my student..
My son attends CSA's Preschool for the Creative Arts. I am so impressed with all that he has learned and the skills he has developed. He can play songs on both the piano and the ukulele. Rather than wanting to be glued to a tv screen in the evenings, he has so many wonderful and healthy new interests in art projects and hands on activities. There is a noticeable difference in his fine motor skills and coordination since beginning Preschool for the Creative Arts. From learning the alphabet through the arts, he now recognizes all the letters, and even at his young preschool age, he is already trying to read street signs and sound out words when we're driving down the road. I highly recommend CSA and Preschool for the Creative Arts!
We traveled into Ft Smith, Ar to see all the buildings murals. Below is a few photos. Took us a whole afternoon back in’19. Late post
Awesome instructors for children's from elementary through highschool! They are patient, kind, positive! If you do not have the finances to pay for your child CSA offers scholarships, in order to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to participate.
