Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is a school-within-a-school in Coronado, California. It is located on the campus of Coronado High School. The school currently enrolls 155 students, of which nearly 70% comes from outside Coronado. CoSA is largely an after-hours program with a focus on the arts, in which students take academic courses at Coronado High School in the morning.
The school offers classes in classical and contemporary dance, musical theater and drama, instrumental music, technical theater, visual art, and digital media and filmmaking. It has Ph.D.s on its faculty and what The San Diego Union-Tribune calls "a formidable fund-raising auxiliary", the CoSA Foundation.
