Our curriculum, both in-person and online, is fully accredited for grades 1 – 12 music education, and all of our teachers have been trained to meet the standards of our accreditation.

WASC accreditation validates the integrity of a school’s program and is a certification to the public that the school is a trustworthy institution of learning.

“Arrow Academy of Music’s teachers and leadership are dedicated to all students and families even after students leave the program. There is a sense of family that is infused in everything the staff does for all students. Arrow students are not only learning their instrument, but they are receiving a musical education that will change their lives for years to come through Arrow’s educational approach.” – Elizabeth Oberreiter
