The Miami Choral Academy
In a day and age where arts programs are usually the first to be cut, the Miami Choral Academy after-school program is defying the odds by providing musical instruction of the highest quality to children of underserved communities. Charging no tuition and asking nothing more than the commitment of its pupils, the Miami Choral Academy has created choirs at its four schools that display an amazing array of talent. Through it’s choral and music integration curriculum, which focuses on concepts shared between music, math, language arts, and history, the Miami Choral Academy is creating academic and social change all while building confidence in its participants.
