We are proud of each and every one of you and look forward to seeing you compete in future competitions.
Charlotte Brookson Academy is the only Performing Arts High School on St. Martin, and while every school faces its own challenges, CBA requires the proper infrastructure to unlock its full potential, and yet, through hard work and dedication to their craft, our students continue to rise to the occasion and give excellent performances.
As a school, CBA continuously proves the foundational importance of the Arts in education and the fundamental need for proper infrastructure, for the development of our artistic and creative youth. With Sint Maarten transitioning from STEM to STEAM education and the government's plans to stimulate the "Orange Economy", which recognizes the importance of the creative sector and its contribution to the country's economic development, Charlotte Brookson Academy for the Performing Arts will continue to lead in educating and inspiring the future Artists and Creatives of our beautiful island.
