Bridge the Gap to Success

Cocheco Academy of the Arts is a college preparatory, public charter school for 9th through 12th grade students. Our mission is to provide excellence in secondary education through college preparatory academics, performing arts, fine arts, and technology related to the arts. We’re raising the money to help meet our annual fund and gain a much needed $10,000 match by the end of the month. Any contributions are greatly appreciated!
Words from CATA students:
"What I love about CATA is its absolute emphasis on freedom of the individual. We are always encouraged to push ahead and forward with our endeavors, creative or otherwise, and that is something unparalleled for me in the various schools I have attended and the jobs I have worked." -Theo Wright
"Cocheco Arts allowed me to find my passion and explore it freely. This school provided me with the support and guidance to do what I love and improve my skills. My teachers understand what I'm capable of, and push me to put forth the best version of myself in everything I do. With the experience I've had at CATA, I feel incredibly prepared and ready for life after highschool, how many 17 year olds can say that?" -Sophie Jordan
"I came to this school for art, and I’ve had so many great experiences with it here. But as well as that, I’ve made some wonderful friends and met some amazing staff. It’s a home." -Willow Nelson
"I came to this school to better my art and to be in a safe, accepting, and comfortable environment. The school was exactly what I was looking for and so much more."
-Jake Clark
"CATA has been a lot of things for me, more than just an educational environment. The learning environment is very unique, as there is opportunity for arts integration in every class. The community here is incredibly tight-knit, and everyone knows each other. People support others here, even if they’re not that close, because everyone here has respect for everyone else. It’s astounding to see an entire high-school that is so united, so kind to one another, so supportive of one another. I have grown so much at CATA, so much more than if I had attended a public high school, because there I likely would’ve slipped through the cracks. I might sound cheesy, but I truly would not be the person I am today without CATA." -Zach Gaulin
