My grandkids took cooking class. What an amazing experience for them to learn cooking skills, recipes, trying different foods, learning all ingredients in a recipe, using measures. What a fun and Interesting path to enhance reading and math skills. This has been an experience that will last them a lifetime! The kids came home full of new knowledge and with great food in hand. Chef was awesome with the kids, he did fantastic teaching! CSA is the best. Everyone was always kind, caring and helpful.

We love the programs and staff at CSA! Our daughter has immensely enjoyed her dance classes for the last two years.

From the wide variety of class offerings, dedication of the staff, and amazing theatre shows they offer CSA, serves the Marion/Grant County community a unique opportunity to give all individuals a variety of ways to enjoy and practice the arts. We are grateful to have them in Grant Co!

CSA is an incredible place! I have two kiddos that have taken classes there at different times, and I don't think I've ever seen a place that does a better job harmonizing pursuing the excellence of an art form or craft, honoring developmental differences, and just having a lot of fun and spreading joy! Huge respect for the leadership there and all the ways they continue to be growth catalysts and champion creative expression in our young ones.

The wide variety of opportunities that Marion Community School of the Arts offers to young people to explore creativity and the arts is absolutely amazing. And CSA brings such joy and life to our community through their theater and dance programs! It is such a remarkable and restorative thing to have a haven for creativity right here in our city, and the leadership of this organization is constantly working to expand access to the life-sustaining and life-changing power of the arts. CSA is absolutely a treasure in our community, and I highly recommend anyone looking for a creative opportunity for their children to explore the options they offer!

Marion CSA is world class. Led meticulously by amazing directors, Shelly Inskeep and Katie Perez, the school is invaluable to our community. The entire staff pour their heart and soul into the school and the students they are blessed to serve, on a DAILY basis. Every decision is held to high scrutiny, as the staff understands the lasting impact of their actions. I trust this organization, and believe that any student, young or old, would be so lucky to have the chance to attend! Cheers to CSA and keeping up the hard work for our community!

My daughter has benefited from her experience at CSA. The classes and teaching have been extremely professional. She’s grown as an actress, dancer, and a cook. She’s been able to get a year ahead in school through the CSA academy. I have always felt informed even in a challenging year due to Covid because of their great communication. I’ve also felt they’ve done everything within their power to keep the children in their care safe while being able to put on high quality productions. Bravo CSA!
