About Our School
Bowie began as a traditional elementary school in 1951 and is now a fine arts academy. Our campus uses the one-way dual language model which grows bilingual, bi-literate and bicultural students. The primary focus at Bowie Fine Arts Academy is helping students grow academically, socially and artistically.
Although our primary focus is student achievement, we have a plethora of afterschool clubs that concentrate on fine arts, and our specific areas of focus are as follows: Dance, Theater Arts, Digital/Visual Arts, and Vocal Music.
Much like at Disneyworld, we consider ourselves not only a family, but members of a cast, preparing a meaningful experience for our school community.
Mission
Bowie Fine Arts Academy is wholeheartedly committed to cultivating a community of vibrant, talented lifelong learners and problem solvers. At Bowie, everybody grows!
