About ITA
INTERNATIONAL TALENT ACADEMY
Performing & Liberal Arts School for Young Children
International Talent Academy (ITA) is a traditional non-profit educational organization located in Carmel, Indiana.
Our mission is to develop confidence, creativity, and capabilities in every child.
We empower students to discover their unique talents, support their mental health, and accelerate cognitive development through internationally inspired performing and liberal arts programs.
ITA is dedicated to elevating performing arts and early childhood education to world-class standards. It is our goal to promote high-level arts education within our community, provide support to young artists, and give them an opportunity to develop their talents and reach their fullest potential in music, theatre, dance, and liberal arts. Our curriculum includes unique performing arts classes which are based on early brain development research and specially designed for young children.
ITA’s Unique Approach to the Arts & Early Childhood Education
Individualized Program
We believe that confidence is one of the most important life skills. We design our programs around each child’s abilities to boost their confidence and creative skills to a higher level as well as work on the particular needs of each child.
No Audition Policy
We do not hold auditions but accept every child who dreams to be on stage and provide him or her with every opportunity to be successful at their very first time performing.
Supporting Mental Health
We integrate elements of theater and music therapy into our programs, providing children with a creative outlet for emotional expression, supporting social-emotional development, helping them manage anxiety, overcome challenges, and build resilience.
Youngest Performers
We are the only program that provides a comprehensive theater & show choir education in the area for the 4-8 age group with a full-scale show at the end of the session.
International Programs
We offer students the chance to explore a diverse collection of hand-made instruments from around the world and engage in international programs, including trips to global performing arts festivals and events.
Learning Through Play
We love to play and so do our students! We teach our subjects through fun educational acting, dancing, and music exercises and games aimed towards the development of confidence, memory, voice, movement, concentration, discipline, working with a partner, and other skills necessary to the class.
Hands On
We use many visual aids and instruments that allow students to touch, see, and experiment and learn the subject matter at their own pace in a group setting.
Community Involvement
We provide our students with opportunities to perform at community events, recitals, and shows. Our Talent scholarship program supports students who otherwise wouldn’t have an opportunity to receive performing arts education.
Parent Involvement
We believe that educating parents is one of the most important missions of ITA. Parents of our students are smart, caring, intelligent, and involved in the process with their children!
