WHO WE ARE
For nearly 20 years, CASSA has provided quality arts education with a high level of professional instruction within a completely unique, inter-disciplinary summer arts school.Whether students are only beginning their artistic education or are advanced in their studies, CASSA has something for everyone! CASSA is the summer school for the arts!
Initiated in 1993 by a small group of Calgary music teachers in collaboration with a local piano dealer and incorporated in 1996 as a non-profit society, the Calgary Arts Summer School Association (CASSA) has grown into a comprehensive summer arts program representing numerous artistic disciplines.
Since its inception, over 5000 students from age four through adult have participated in the diverse and innovative programs offered by CASSA including Musical Theatre Showtime, Piano Camp, Adult Piano Camp, Improv Camp, PlayWriting Camp, Music, Drama, Movement & Art Camp, Jazz Connection, Music Theory Workshop, CASS Recital, and Piano Pedagogy Workshop.
These programs have attracted participants from throughout Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and from as far away as the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and South America.
CASSA is a registered charity.
