Investing in a Canterbury Brook Education
Canterbury Brook Academy of the Arts is not only unique among private independent schools, it is unique among all schools.  At CBA, your children will receive a top-notch academic education, enabling them to apply with confidence to the best colleges in the nation, as well as full instruction in the arts, enough to pursue a career in an arts-based field upon graduation should they choose to do so.  Our system of grading, formation of classes, and daily schedule set us apart from other private school options, even elite arts school in NYC who can boast similar levels of dual preparation.  Our students are also nurtured from day one with a strong sense of service to their communities, a focus on social-emotional health and awareness, and a deeply held sentiment of self-efficacy.  As such, a CBA graduate is a standout among his or her peers.  
Researching the Options
When compared with other independent private schools in the region, CBA's tuition comes in at a far lower price point.  This is a remarkable fact considering that no other school offers as much extra-curricular arts-based training during the school day.  Moreover, our newly renovated facilities, staff of master educators, and beautiful home in the heart of the Hudson Valley make CBA a naturally desirable location to choose as your child's academic home.  The entire staff recognizes the sacrifice any family makes when choosing private education for their children, and we want you to make this choice with as much information at your disposal as possible.  Though it would be difficult, due to our completely unique program, to find a local option comparable to our own, other regional independent private schools charge as much as three times our rate of tuition without including any of their pricey a la carte fees.  Moreover, unlike many local options, CBA is a place that your children can call home from their earliest years all the way through graduation with no grade-level increases.  Also, private scholarships do exist and can be inquired about via email at [email protected].
