Welcome to Ovations School for the Arts. 

Ovations School for the Arts is a non-profit educational organization developed by Executive Director, Cara Keelin. Through her experiences teaching preschool, homeschooling, adult education, and her classroom experience she saw a desire to change the status quo in the learning world. She designed Ovations to inspire a life-long learning experience through the arts by teaching in a way that reaches the individual not the collective.  

Ovations is Pinellas County's premier learning alternative. Bridging the gap between homeschooling and traditional education and adding in a sprinkle of arts-integration mixed with a community-centered focus and a university model approach we have created the most enticing learning environment our community has to offer. We have opportunities for all learners regardless of walk of life. We look to inspire a sense of community through events and build a unique family like no other.
