Coit Creative Arts Academy (Coit) offers social, creative arts, and academic learning opportunities in an inquiry-based curriculum to students from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade. It also offers the Primary Years Programme as an authorized International Baccalaureate World School.

With approximately one teacher for every 13 students and total school size of about 240 students, Coit offers the class sizes children need to work closely with trained teacher support.

Students participate in community cleanup days and other outreach events to give back to the Belknap Lookout neighborhood. The academy also promotes Artists of the Week through social media to celebrate student art and expression.
Discover Coit, and see how education and creative arts combine in ways that equip and inspire.
