About Us The Umaña Academy of Fine Arts was founded on the principle that in order to achieve a perfectly rounded education each child must be nurtured in the arts. Every child possesses an innate longing to express themselves artistically and to develop their natural, God-given abilities. Studies have proven that children who are exposed to the arts at an early age generally achieve a higher level of academic excellence than their peers. The cornerstones of the Umaña Academy of Fine Arts are Music, Art, Foreign Language, and Social Skills. Our desire is for your child to enjoy developing in these areas, to feel confident in their achievements, and to enrich their community because of it. Your child will receive the finest education and will be a part of a larger network of children enriched through the study of the Arts!
