Welcome to Stivers School for the Arts. We offer programs in music, dance, theater and the visual arts, as well as a full range of quality academics.

Stivers School for the Arts is the only public school in the Dayton City School District that has been designated as a grade 7-12 school.

Students enter Stivers at the 7th grade level by audition and make a full 6 year commitment.

Students at Stivers major in Arts themes of Band, Orchestra, Choir, Piano, Dance, Creative Writing, Theater and Visual Arts. Special features of the Arts programs include weekly, individualized instruction, special seminars, master classes and extensive opportunities for performance and creative expression.

Students are provided instruction through one-on-one contact with many of the community's leading professional and performing artists. Art themes are integrated into the general curriculum.

Stivers has a rigorous academic program that consistently produces test scores that far exceed all other schools in the district. Stivers' state report card is similar to that of high-performing suburban schools. Stivers is a prime example of how participation in the Arts enhances academic performance.

Stivers has been called the "Crown Jewel" in the Dayton Public School System by the Dayton newspapers.

Visitors are always welcome at Stivers. Please let us know if you would like to spend the day with us.
