Students wishing to pursue a program in creative writing, dance, theater, or music are eligible to apply to the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts. Acceptance is determined by the academy. The curriculum is designed to offer each student an opportunity to train intensively in one of the performing arts, develop a broad understanding of all the arts and their interaction, and be in contact with the world of professional performing arts. The Enfield Board of Education provides a limited number of scholarships for students to attend the Greater Hartford Academy. These scholarships include transportation and full tuition for this program. Students who are not scholarship recipients may still attend the academy by paying the annual tuition fee. The Enfield Board of Education provides the cost for transportation for all students.
