Alamo Arts Academy is more than just a curriculum. We want to make work-based learning accessible to all, so we've created a custom program to do just that!

Alamo Arts Academy's "Come and Make It" program provides students with practicum education to prepare them for careers in an array of fields and industries. Come and Make It is our unique approach to work-based learning by equipping students with real world experience outside the classroom in a purposeful way.

Together with our community partners, students will be given opportunities to jump into working with industry professionals for production work, use their skills to produce projects for small businesses, and put together meaningful assets for deserving nonprofits in their community. Not only is this work-based learning concept furnishing students with unlimited environments to hone their skills, it is a chance to work with real life clients on exciting projects. The result is prepared students who have paved a successful pathway for higher education and successful careers.
