The Fine Arts Academy in White Settlement is a public school that serves kindergarten through sixth-grade students. Students must apply to the campus through a lottery program. The program is open to students who live within the White Settlement Independent School District boundaries. One of the benefits of attending the Fine Arts Academy is the limited class size. There are only two classes per grade level on this campus. Every kindergarten through fourth-grade student will attend fine arts classes daily. Students in fifth and sixth grade are able to choose from a variety of electives. The electives include media/graphic arts, drama and more. All students learn literacy and number sense throughout their education at the Fine Arts Academy. Teachers and administrators encourage student learning and empower students to become critical thinkers. Students love attending the Fine Arts Academy because of the diverse fine arts programs available at the school. Students can choose to participate in music, band or choir. They are also able to take dance and theatre classes. Students who attend the Fine Arts Academy are also part of the district-wide “Bear Nation” since the district shares a mascot, the Brewer Bears. The school colors are blue and white. Teachers, administrators, and students at this campus are also supported by an active Parent Teacher Association.
