Following a devastating fire in March, Artsy Learning Academy is eager to announce its opening at a new temporary location, CrossPointe Student Center, 2601 24th Ave SE, in Norman. A private, art-based school serving pre-K through middle school students, Artsy Learning Academy is fully operational and remains committed to delivering a consistent, high-quality education despite the unexpected setback.
“Our teachers and staff have worked tirelessly to establish a stable, supportive environment and uninterrupted learning,” says Melesa Dobbins, Academy owner and director. “While losing our building has been a challenge, everyone’s effort throughout this transition reflects the Academy’s resilience and dedication to our students and families.”
While operating from its temporary home, the Academy remains focused on its mission: empowering students to learn, create, and thrive — no matter the circumstances.
About Artsy Learning Academy
Founded in 2012, Artsy Learning Academy is known for its individually paced approach, allowing students to progress according to their unique learning styles and abilities. Fully accredited through high school, the Academy’s curriculum exceeds Oklahoma state academic standards while remaining flexible, ensuring students build strong academic foundations while staying engaged and confident. In addition, the Academy continues to support Oklahoma families by keeping tuition within the Oklahoma Tax Credit, making its accredited programs more accessible.
As an art-based school, the Academy integrates creativity into daily learning. Students benefit from enrichment in art, music, movement, and life skills — programs that foster imagination, independence, and well-rounded development alongside core academics. The academy also places a strong emphasis on social-emotional growth. In a safe, nurturing environment, students develop communication skills, form meaningful relationships, and learn to navigate emotions with confidence and respect.
Summer Camp
Looking ahead, the Academy will continue its Summer Camp activities beginning in June. The camp features daily canvas painting, STEM games, and a variety of engaging, hands-on activities. To learn more, visit artsylearningacademy.com.
