HFA: Alameda School is San Antonio’s only tuition-free college prep high school that focuses on art + design as essential to a world-class education.
The world is in need of critical thinkers and problem-solvers, people who can produce new ideas and come up with new solutions. Creative thinkers need a creative education, where learning is hands-on and takes place in studios, not through lectures in front of chalkboards. HFA: ASAD, through its partnership with The Alameda, and with SAY Sí and Southwest School of Art, provides intense exploration of the creative process with professional artists combined with college-preparatory academic courses and work experiences.
Our focus is on engaging high school students and preparing them for the future through strong academics, a college-going culture, intensive art and design preparation that includes studio seminars, and real-world experiences that focus on innovation and creativity.
