The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Magnet Middle School (Arts Middle) features an integrated learning environment for students in Grades 6-8 that combines a rigorous core curriculum enhanced by an art-themed focus.
The academic curriculum is rigorous and individualized to 
student needs. The arts curriculum provides students the opportunity to further explore a wide variety of art forms including creative writing, dance, digital arts, filmmaking, instrumental music, theater, musical theater, vocal music and the visual arts. The experiences students develop at the school will prepare them for more advanced level work at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts High Schools, which strive to prepare students for college and/or a professional career in the arts.
Arts Middle is recognized as a model Professional Learning Community,
one of only about 150 schools nationwide to hold this honor. These are
schools and districts in which educators recognize the key to improved
learning for students is on-going, job-embedded learning for the adults
who serve those students. We focus on learning, building a collaborative
culture, and getting results.
