Lower Manhattan Arts Academy is a coeducational public school for students in grades 9 through 12.
The Lower Manhattan Arts Academy (LoMA) is a small, multicultural school where the focus is on academic excellence through the arts. Every aspect of LoMA's design, structure and practice supports each student's intellectual, emotional and cultural growth with the ultimate goal of seeing that he or she succeeds in a four-year college or career. As an arts school, LoMA integrates visual and performance elements into the curriculum through three approaches. Students have the opportunity to work with visual and performing artists during academic classes to create high quality, standards-based performances of learning. After completion of a two-year rotation of the four arts - visual, music, dance or drama, each student specializes in one of the disciplines. Our school has partnerships with many Lower East Side arts organizations so that every student takes part in an Extended Day Program at least twice a week. We are an intimate, nurturing school with a large number of adults watching over and taking care of our students.
Twelve-hour-per-week internships for all seniors, artists-in-residence in many classes, project-based learning in academic classes, daily Advisory classes, daily reading period, college classes at New York University (NYU) and John Jay College, extensive after-school tutoring, majors in art, music, dance, and drama after completing a 9th grade rotation of all of the arts; museum visits, free performances at cultural institutions, 40 school trips a year
