OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT
We cannot do what we do at OCSA without the support of the generous families, foundations, and corporations who invest in the school. The OCSA experience has impacted tens of thousands of students – equipping generations of artist-scholars for higher education and the 21st century workforce. The impact of an arts education cannot be overstated, as evidenced by the outstanding accomplishments of countless OCSA students and alumni in both academic and artistic fields; however, the OCSA impact stretches far beyond our talented student artists and into the Santa Ana and greater Southern California communities.
Throughout its history, OCSA has:

Each year, OCSA:
• Gives $500,000 – $700,000 in financial scholarships to students in need, ensuring they have access to the full OCSA experience
• Provides $50,000 in financial assistance for children to partake in extracurricular arts classes through CSArts Academy
• Spends approximately $500,000 with Santa Ana contractors and vendors
• Supports more than 85 student-run community service clubs
• Welcomes approximately 200 students who commute through Metrolink at the Santa Ana Train Station

I would like to extend my utmost appreciation to Orange County School of the Arts and their community arts programs, through which both my son and daughter discovered new passions and friendships. The OCSA students and instructors not only gave them encouragement and a safe environment, but a love of the arts that renewed their spirits. As a parent, I am truly thankful.”
