Ms377 | Renaissance School of the Arts

Renaissance School of the Arts is the hidden gem of the District 4 community. RSA is an open enrollment middle school serving grades 6-8, founded in 2008 by Dr. Tammy Pate. Our school focuses on the arts with three majors that students can choose from: band, dance, and visual arts. We believe that the arts are a powerful way to cultivate not only creativity, but also confidence, discipline, and a deep sense of self-expression. Our mission is to provide students with an exceptional education that nurtures both their academic and artistic development. Whether your child is passionate about dance, music, or visual arts our school offers a dynamic, hands-on curriculum designed to inspire and challenge every student.

The standard middle school curricula has expanded to include high school level regents courses in Algebra I and Biology for all 8th graders. The arts program has streamlined into a pre-conservatory style, technique based program that students engage in daily. This prepares students to compete in the rigorous admission process for specialized NYC high schools. RSA is a small community filled with passionate educators and loving families all working together to promote well-being and success for our students.
