Herrera School for the Arts offers a fine arts program in Central Phoenix that fosters creativity, passions, and personal growth. Herrera’s success is evident by our consistent feedback from students and families, Nationally Board Certified Teachers, and our Quality First Preschool.

Building Connections

Herrera is a kindergarten through grade eight school that focuses on academic achievement.

We believe in providing learning experiences for our students to grow not just academically, but socially. We provide many hands-on, inquiry-based learning opportunities for our students to build their knowledge in mathematics, science, social studies, reading, and writing. The basis for these opportunities lies in collaboration, conversation, and creativity.

At Herrera, ALL students have the opportunity to express themselves daily through participation in one of several arts-focused core content areas: Dance, Drama, Choral Instrumentation, Instrumental Music, Visual Arts, and Physical Education. The arts allow students to express themselves and their understanding of the world in creative ways. The arts help students build connections that deepen learning in all other content areas.

Panther Promises:

Be Respectful,
