We’re delighted to welcome Longleaf School of the Arts as our newest Coalition member! A public charter school located in Raleigh, Longleaf offers students a college preparatory curriculum, with a focus on the arts.
Longleaf has as its mission the goal of developing students into “confident, responsible, and successful contributors in college, career, and community through mentorship and a challenging curriculum that integrates academics and the fine arts.” In 2024, U.S. News & World Report ranked Longleaf among the top 10 public high schools in the Raleigh area.
We share more about Longleaf below, in the school’s own words:
Longleaf School of the Arts is the first charter high school in Raleigh, NC that integrates academics with the fine and performing arts. We are a college preparatory school that prepares students for university rigor while allowing them to explore their creative and artistic side. We use a small high school setting to address the needs of students who are hard-working and dedicated to receiving a quality education, and who may be looking for an alternative to a traditional high school setting. Longleaf offers a variety of Advanced Placement classes, as well as a wide variety of classes in the following fine and performing arts: choral music, dance, instrumental music, musical theatre, theatre, and visual art.
