Everyone’s Welcome
Forget the stress of auditions. Forget worrying about whether you “qualify.” At The SAE, you don’t need a portfolio – you just need an interest in the arts to enroll. Our enrollment is tuition-free and audition-free because we believe every creative voice deserves to be heard and nurtured. With students choosing to travel from over 35 different cities to join our family, you’ll discover an incredible community of artists who will become your lifelong friends and collaborators.
Wednesdays = The Best Day Ever
Most days at The SAE, we dig into a challenging, project-based academic schedule. But on Wednesday afternoons? That’s when we switch it up with Wednesday Afternoon Arts – dive deeper into your art for an entire afternoon! Want to explore songwriting? Perfect! Curious about ceramics? Let’s do it! Interested in learning about live event management? We’ve got you covered! It’s pure creative exploration where you can discover new passions and deepen existing ones.
Ready to Love School?
At The SAE, you won’t just “get through” school. You’ll grow as an artist, as a thinker, and as a human, all while being part of a community that sees and celebrates you.

With three beautiful campuses in the heart of Pomona’s thriving Arts Colony, you’ll have access to professional-grade facilities and the opportunity to work on your art before and after school hours.
