Harding Fine Arts Academy is a tuition-free, public charter high school in Oklahoma City. The mission of HFAA is to prepare students for college in an academically challenging, arts-integrated environment, and we were founded with a vision to provide educational equity through this transformative learning opportunity.
We believe that all students can thrive in an engaging, hands-on experience that fosters critical thinking and creative problem-solving. In addition to traditionally required academic subjects (including 14 Advanced Placement) in mathematics, English, science, social studies, and foreign language, our students select from a wide range of courses in dance, music, theatre, martial arts, and visual arts programs. Some of Oklahoma City’s finest artists and musicians are available as instructors, advisors, and community partners.
