Welcome

Welcome to our 501c3 non-profit, learning alternative, community focused, educational organization that utilizes a unique arts-integrated, university model approach to learning.
Arts brings education to life through a vibrant sense of understanding of the world around us.
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 while offering a unique blend of arts integration and community focus. With a flexible, university-model approach, we provide an enticing learning environment designed to meet the needs of every learner. Our programs inspire a strong sense of community through engaging events and foster connections that feel like family.

We cater to all educational journeys, offering homeschooling support, dual enrollment opportunities, worldschooling options, afterschool activities, and community events. No matter your path, Ovations has something for everyone, empowering learners from all walks of life.​
