Big opportunities for your child. Zero tuition. From TK through 10th grade, Caat makes creativity part of everyday learning, helping students build confidence and discover what they can do.
Arts and Technology
Built for kids who love to create, build, and discover.
Our students make art, explore technology, and tackle hands-on projects that help them find what they love and see what they can do.
A TK-12 School
One school for your kids.
One less thing to juggle. Siblings can learn and grow together at CAAT, making drop-offs, pickups, and school events easier for your family.
Early College
College classes done early. More money kept in your pocket.
Our students earn college credits in high school, so they may have fewer introductory classes to take later. Families can save $15,000–$20,000.
