News & Announcements
Head of School, Matthew Baker recently quoted in Forbes magazine
The article in Forbes Magazine focuses on college admissions and the stresses and mental challenges that are facing students as they think about the transition to college. Metro Arts was the first school in the valley to use the Project Wayfinder curriculum for seniors and more recently the Belonging curriculum for Freshman. We are trying to equip our students not just to get into college but to thrive once they get there.
