• International students may become informed of the exact current annual tuition cost by contacting our admissions director, Ms. Valerie Barreiro, at vbarreiro@miamiartscharter.net. 
• Scholarships are awarded on a merit basis and to target the school's need for a particular talent or skill in the performing or fine arts.
