Middle School and High School June 2-14, 2025 | Elementary School June 16-20, 2025
We are enthusiastically planning for the Glema Center’s 2025 Summer Arts Academy! As always, this academy focuses on education and technique, giving students a strong foundation for the future. There is a final showcase event, but the emphasis throughout their time with us will be on education and skills, not the performance.
Essentials for all Academies:
- Grades listed refer to the grade the student will complete in May 2025. For 2025 only, students exiting 8th grade may choose to participate with either the Middle School or the High School group. This decision MUST be made at the time of registration, as space in each group is limited.
- Registration opens March 11 for elementary groups (grades K-4), March 12 for middle school groups (grades 5-7), and March 13 for high school groups (grades 8-12). Registration will be available online, over the phone at 270-821-2787 from 10am to 4pm, and in person at the Glema Center office from 10am to 4pm.
- Tuition scholarships are available (box office only). Contact Toby Roberts at toby.roberts@kctcs.edu or at 270-821-2787.
- A 25% sibling discount for two or more students from one immediate family is available, but not applicable for online registration. Please call or visit the office after registration opens to sign up siblings and receive this discount.
