We are ChiArts. Chicago's first public arts high school.
The Chicago High School for the Arts (ChiArts®) develops the next generation of diverse, artistically promising scholar-artists through intensive pre-professional training in the arts, combined with a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum.

Our 2022-23 production season is the most robust and diverse calendar to date! This year our 60+ productions include school-wide performances, cross-conservatory collaborations, and productions that have created newfound traditions for our community.
