About Us
The Springfield Academy of Arts and Academics is a small, four-year magnet high school of choice. We serve students who seek a non-traditional education and who wish to be part of a diverse and supportive community. A3 staff, students, and families are committed to developing a collaborative learning environment through programming that includes project based learning, integrated content, and the arts. To help students self-actualize future success, our school promotes acceptance, reflection, and perseverance.
