LET’S SPARK SUCCESS AND DOUBLE THE IMPACT!

#GivingTuesday is a national day for giving back and marks the opening day of the charitable season. We are excited to announce that an anonymous donor is using Tuesday, November 27, 2018, to issue a matching gift challenge of up to $50,000 to support Metropolitan School of the Arts!*

Join us as we strive to provide the most fulfilling experience in arts education and help young people reach their fullest potential in the arts through our phenomenal faculty, world-class curriculum, and exceptional collaborations with those most committed to igniting the creative spark in young people, contributing towards greater success for their futures.
