Jessye Norman School of the Arts information


The Jessye Norman School of the Arts is a free, comprehensive after-school arts program serving mostly disadvantaged middle and high school students in Augusta, Georgia, United States. It was founded in 2003 by the Rachel Longstreet Foundation, Inc. and was funded in large part during its first year by its namesake, the celebrated opera singer and Augusta native Jessye Norman, who was very involved in the life of the School in the following years. The School, a 501(c)(3) organization, offers courses in dance, drama, visual art, music (both instrumental and vocal) and creative writing on the same academic schedule as the Richmond County School District.
