Imagine the limitless opportunities for your child at a public school in the City of San Antonio where academics and creativity work hand-in-hand.


Henry Ford Academy: Alameda School for Art + Design (HFA: ASAD), opening August 2009, is San Antonio’s new art and design high school focusing on strong academics, art and design. At full enrollment we will serve grades 9 through 12, and as a public charter school, all enrolled students will attend tuition-free.

HFA: ASAD is a partnership led by Henry Ford Learning Institute (HFLI), a non-profit organization dedicated to creating public schools in public spaces, and San Antonio’s The Alameda National Center for Latino Arts and Culture, a world leader in documenting and sharing Latino contributions to the broad landscape of American art and culture.
