• Professional Environment

• Small Classes and Great Support Manatee School For the Arts is a charter public school established in 1998.

We serve more than 2100 students in grades 6 through 12. MSA is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS-CASI) and is recognized by the State of Florida as a "High Performing" Charter School. The Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools has designated Manatee School For the Arts as a "Gold Seal of Excellence" school and we have been recognized by US News and World Report as a Top High School in America. Manatee School For the Arts is a total choice school. Our mainstream middle school draws a diverse student population from the entire county. MSA is based on arts infusion and multiple intelligences. While we offer a very wide range of arts electives, we strive to maintain a standard of excellence in our core academic program. MSA seeks the best. We hire experienced faculty with proven track records and we consider new faculty who have demonstrated potential to become outstanding teachers. Faculty who are most successful at Manatee School For the Arts are individuals who are dedicated to student success. They are looking for an opportunity to have input into the curriculum and tailor their courses beyond the basic state requirements. They see themselves as professionals and want to be part of a team that strives to fulfill the mission of the school. They have high standards for themselves and expect the best performance possible from their students. They are compassionate and they like children. They make choices in their classes that invite students to join the learning process. They are nurturing. However, they realize that nurturing often requires understanding and discipline applied equitably and consistently. They care. Faculty at MSA are expected to know and understand Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence learning theory and apply it to their classroom. A logical extension of that understanding is arts infusion. Faculty are expected to bring the arts (music, theatre, dance and visual art) into the classroom to help create pathways of learning for a broad range of student learning styles. They recognize that one size does not fit all and they adjust accordingly.
