Easton Arts Academy Renews Charter, Embarking On 7th Year

EASTON, PA — Easton Arts Academy Elementary Charter School's charter has been renewed, allowing the institution to continue providing its immersive arts-focused education to students. The Easton Arts Academy is an elementary school that integrates traditional academics with daily experiences in various forms of art.

“Data has shown that students flourish when immersed in both the arts and academic programs tailored to their learning needs, and we see the benefits of this approach firsthand every day. We are excited to embark on our seventh year of providing students the tools they need to succeed for the rest of their lives," said acting CEO of the Easton Arts Academy, Mohamed Hagag.

The Easton Arts Academy Elementary Charter School was established in 2017, and it accepts tuition-free enrollment for students in grades K-5 from 15 surrounding school districts. Additionally, free transportation and free lunches are provided to all students. Located in a renovated historic building in downtown Easton, the school offers a variety of art courses, including visual art, theatre, music, and dance.

According to information shared by the school, the institution believes that artistic pursuits and hands-on learning enhance academic achievement and contribute to success in various professional fields later in life. Students are given the opportunity to showcase their talents and hard work in performances and art displays for the community, including recent winter and spring concerts at the State Theatre Center for the Arts.

This year, the Easton Arts Academy welcomed two new additions to its leadership team, principal Charles Bomboy Jr. and assistant principal Yu Kai Cheung, both of whom have overseen a variety of alternative and specialized educational programs at the elementary, intermediate, and secondary school levels.
