Capital Area School for the Ar

Tucked into the heart of Harrisburg, Capital Area School for the Arts is a magnet for students who want their creative passions to sit alongside — not behind — their academics, and the school's strong English and science scores show that artistic focus doesn't come at the cost of rigor. It draws families from across the Capital Region who are looking for something genuinely different: a place where a kid who lives for theater, visual art, or music can also thrive in the classroom. Harrisburg itself is a small city with a lot of character — walkable, historically rich, and increasingly energetic — and CASA fits right into that identity as a school that takes culture seriously.
