FAQs

What is a public charter school?

A charter school is a public school that operates as a school of choice. Charter schools commit to obtaining specific educational objectives in return for a charter to operate a school. Charter schools receive public funding, cannot charge tuition, and are not allowed to have admissions criteria. Also unlike private schools, charter schools are subject to many of the same state and all federal regulations as traditional public schools.

How does Utopian differ from what surrounding schools offer?

What makes Utopian Academy for the Arts at Trilith different is our academic model, which integrates the arts into everyday instruction to help students make real-world connections between what they learn in class and the skills they’ll need on the job. Arts Classes are taught by artist-practitioners—working professionals who bring firsthand industry experience into the classroom.

This unique blend of academic rigor and industry exposure prepares students for success both in and beyond the classroom—something few surrounding schools can match.
