ABOUT THE MIAMI CHORAL ACADEMY

The Miami Choral Academy is a tuition-free after school program that creates a little league-type network of choral ensembles for children from inner-city communities of Miami-Dade County. In partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the Miami Choral Academy seeks to make positive academic and social change in children from underserved Miami communities through intensive choral ensemble participation, a music integration program, and the creation of a Parent Choral Association. The Miami Choral Academy’s music integration program focuses on the integration of fundamental concepts shared between music and math, language arts, history, movement, theater and visual arts.
