School Overview

Tucked into the pine-covered foothills of Tuolumne County, Connections Visual and Performing Arts Academy is one of those rare finds that draws creative, motivated families from across the region — a charter school where the arts aren't an afterthought but the whole point. Academically, it punches well above its weight for a small mountain community school, ranking in the top 10% statewide with particularly strong English scores. If you're raising a kid who thrives when creativity and rigor go hand in hand, and you don't mind the slower pace and tight-knit feel of foothill living, this school is well worth the drive.
