Overview

 

Three credits of World Languages/Fine Arts/CTE are required to graduate from CMASAS. These can be a combination of any courses from World Language, Fine Arts, or CTE.

 

In addition to taking visual and performing art courses, students are encouraged to integrate art throughout their other courses.
