Arts Classes
Find your place in the arts
COCA inspires art experiences for all ages and skill levels, from enthusiastic amateurs to emerging professionals. We offer in-person classes in art & design, dance, early childhood, theatre, and voice at our University City campus.
Join us for full-year classes (Fall & Winter/Spring), full-semester classes (Fall, Winter/Spring, or Summer), 7-week classes, or a one-time arts experience through one of our workshops!
COCA provides a progressive learning path for our curriculum in dance, theatre, voice, and art and design. Our classes are designed to be taken for the full academic year.
What students learn in the Fall Semester helps prepare them for the Winter/Spring Semester. Our Teaching Artists add more challenging elements or introduce new mediums in the second half of the year. COCA’s Summer Semester also provides supplemental training to further develop and refine their skills.
We recommend that students sign up for full-year classes—both Fall and Winter/Spring Semesters. This helps secure a spot in the full course and ensures that students benefit from the complete learning experience. COCA also offers discounts for full-year enrollment and payment plans to make the commitment more accessible.

New for 2025–2026! COCA’s arts classes for homeschooled students offer arts-learning opportunities for ages 4–18. Classes are available for the full academic year or full semester (Fall & Winter/Spring).
COCA is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Precollegiate Arts Schools.
