The approach to the arts at HSA is holistic and tailored to the individual journeys of students. Sometimes they work with young artists who know by their teen years or earlier that they want to enter an arts profession. Other times, students' experience with the arts is part of a foundation that leads them to acquire skills, confidence and presence to enter careers in government, education, and law.
