Masterpieces By Future Masterminds

BY GLORIA HARRIS

The Master's Academy of Fine Arts is located in Atlanta, GA, but is hoping to create a program here in Arkansas. The program is held 26 weeks during the school year, one day a week. Students attend five classes during the day: drama, history, music, art and an elective. All of the classes have an historical theme. These themes rotate each year between six distinct historical eras. This program has been going on for fifteen years.

The Masters Academy cost $600 a year per student for grades K-12. An informational meeting was held in early October at the Journey Church in Little Rock. Approximately 15 people attended that meeting. For more information about the Master's Academy and to find out about future informational meetings here in Little Rock, go to their website at www.mafa.net .
