ISTA Arts Academy Hong Kong

A Partnership Powered by Creativity and Connection

Where Young Artists Find Their Voice

The ISTA Arts Academy Hong Kong is a vibrant hub where young people explore drama, music, and movement in an inclusive, inspiring environment.

Led by professional artists and guided by the ISTA Ensemble Method, it empowers students aged 8–18 to build confidence, creativity, and collaboration through original artistic work.

A Partnership that Inspires Global Creativity

Proudly hosted by the Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS), the Academy reflects a shared commitment to the arts and global learning. As a creative centre for Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, it champions access, inclusion, and collaboration—connecting young people across communities and cultures through the power of the arts.

Rooted in ISTA's global ethos and ensemble approach, our partnership model provides consistent professional support and standards of excellence.
