School Overview

Milwaukie Academy of the Arts (MAA) is a specialized public high school located in Milwaukie, Oregon, operating within the North Clackamas School District. The school is designed for students who are passionate about integrating creative expression into their academic experience. Rather than functioning as a traditional comprehensive high school, MAA offers a unique, arts-focused curriculum where students engage in rigorous core academics while simultaneously developing their talents in disciplines such as visual arts, music, theater, and digital media.

The academy emphasizes a personalized learning environment that fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and individual creativity. By blending traditional state-required coursework with immersive arts programming, the school prepares students for both post-secondary education and potential careers in the creative industries. MAA serves as an alternative educational pathway for students who thrive in a community-centered setting that celebrates artistic identity and academic growth in equal measure.
