Academy of Art of Highland Park

Pursuing the excellence of art through the art of excellence

NEW DIRECTIVES AT THE AAHP – This is a friendly reminder that Ana and Aaron are mobilizing all our technical and human resources to create online services for you. We have an awesome technical team, and our aim is NOT to create a “bandage” presence online for you. Our aim is to do as we have always done for 22 years strong—to create online courses and other services that offer truly deepening experiences for you and your family members as strong learners and problem-solving creatives.
