The Circus Academy of Tucson's mission is to provide a well-rounded and diverse education in circus and theater arts to youth and adults in the Tucson community. Our goal is to offer circus to ALL in the community who wish to participate regardless of age, body type, socio economic status, race, religion, culture, physical or developmental challenges, gender identity, or any other perceived barrier to participation. If you are interested in circus, let us know! We want to work with you to make circus work for you! We believe that everyone should have the chance to experience the benefits of circus and that everyone can benefit from circus arts.
We strive to offer a well-rounded education that goes beyond circus arts. We want to be part of our student's over all educational life in becoming prepared adults and responsible community members. This includes offering community service opportunities and lessons on setting and completing goals, working as part of a team and exploring the self to develop awareness and progress as human beings.
