New Orleans Center for Creative Arts has provided professional arts training to high school students on a half-day basis since 1973. Today, NOCCA offers curriculum in Creative Writing, Culinary Arts, Dance, Media Arts, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts to students from across the New Orleans region and Louisiana. 

In August 2011, NOCCA launched an innovative, full-day, diploma-granting arts and academic attendance option called the Academic Studio.  

We invite students and parents to learn more the program and how to apply at our Open Studio Events and here: Academic Studio Curriculum; and NOCCA Academic Studio Curriculum Development Partners
