We are a school that believes in wholehearted education--classrooms are actually discovery labs and daily lessons transcend traditional boundaries. Be encouraged by your kids laughing, dancing…talking during a collaborative lesson…. This is the life of a scholar at One School of the Arts.

OSOTA has a thriving international program. Scholars from different countries have been attending our school for three solid academic years, and we continue to expand welcoming international students from South Korea and China. 

Although we are 100% invested in reclaiming our property, and seeing it restored to a green field of dreams, we are pioneering to provide an even better fitness program for our scholars through our Ninja Warrior Fitness Program. We're turning lemons into lemonade! 

The SAT 10 is a national standardized norm-referenced test. When we are communicating with our scholars you will not hear teachers refer to it as a test. Unfortunately, in this day and age many of our scholars have been exposed to stressful, high-anxiety inducing situations due to excessive, pressure-filled testing situations. When scholars are stressed they do not do their best. This is why our school has decided that rather than doing “traditional testing,” we embark on a school-wide "questing!"

We happen to know there are many ways a person can be smart, and it is not only measured by good grades in Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts or English....It's through the theory of Multiple Intelligences developed by Dr. Howard Gardner. 

Are your scholars excited about learning in Walter’s new home in our STEAM lab?  He is so excited to share his love of learning and discovery with all of his favorite friends here at OSOTA, and so am I!

A positive mindset is everything. A positive outlook is just the beginning. If we dare greatly, which is the motto of one of today’s *great thinkers, dear friends, dear family, and walk further into the school year with the goodness of life at the forefront, what a wonderful world will meet us!

At OSOTA, we love to feature scholars, parents, and families who are using their god-given talents in full color. Allow us to introduce alumnus Michael A. Romaniello, a gifted artist whose groundbreaking work will leave you speechless.  Michael is a holding a special art camp this July for scholars in grades 5th - 12th, and it's sure to be an amazing experience. 

Moments of such senseless loss of life can leave more questions than answers.  Times of tragedy and times of blessing give us as parents a unique opportunity to reach and to guide the hearts of our kids.  It’s a beautiful truth that in our most vulnerable moments of deep pain and sorrow that God is near to us. 

We give a lot of attention to our scholars who blow us away every day with their talents, gifts, and innovative ideas. And rightly so! But it’s not every day we can celebrate our talented, gifted, and innovative parents. So today is that day! Laresa Tapia, Mark and Carolyn Izzo have really raised the bar on what it means to be creative thinkers and doers.
