About Us

City College Academy of the Arts (CCAA) is a 6-12 early college school. With the City College of New York and the Early College Initiative, our primary partners, we have designed a learning community that is supportive and safe, as well as rigorous and challenging. CCAA students graduate with as much as two years of college credit. The arts are the conduit through which students develop the skills to become problem-solvers, critical thinkers and analytical learners. CCAA is committed to ensuring that our students succeed not only in college but as valued members of their families and community.
