Savannah Arts Academy
Web site
The Savannah Arts Academy building is located on a site that was originally planned as a luxury tourist hotel called the Hotel Georgia. The developers envisioned the Hotel Georgia to 'be a palace outside and inside. The grounds will be a dream of beauty.' The hotel was to be located at the apex of the Chatham Crescent, a long, sweeping crescent-shaped drive.
Work began on the hotel on August 15, 1912 but due to litigation, steel shortages, funding problems and architectural changes the foundation sat unfinished for about 20 years.
Exterior of the Savannah Arts Academy
The Works Progress Administration (WPA), in the midst of the Depression, expressed interest in the site for use as the new Savannah High School. Permits were granted, construction began, and Savannah High School was dedicated on June 15, 1937.
After 61 years on Washington Avenue, Savannah High School classes were moved to a new building on Pennsylvania Avenue, leaving the structure available for the newly formed Savannah Arts Academy in August, 1998.
Savannah Arts Academy is the first dedicated performing and visual arts school in Savannah, Georgia. Savannah Arts Academy was granted charter school status in July, 1998. Savannah Arts Academy opened its doors for the first time in August, 1998. The initial enrollment was 397.
The school is designed to provide high level training in the arts to 600 students within the context of a comprehensive college preparatory and technical preparatory high school education. The curriculum is integrated, encouraging students to explore common themes in different subject areas. Students concentrate in one of one of the arts majors: communications technology, dance, instrumental and/or vocal music, theatre arts, and visual arts. All elective courses offered are either in core academic areas or the arts.
