Ave Maria Arts & Innovation Circle (AIC)
Ave Maria Arts & Innovation Circle (AIC) is a family-owned educational enrichment provider serving homeschool families throughout the San Antonio metropolitan area. We offer engaging academic, STEAM, fine arts, and performing arts programs designed to support the intellectual, creative, social, and personal development of children and teens.
Our programs serve a diverse community of learners, including typical, gifted, twice-exceptional, and neurodiverse students. We strive to create welcoming, flexible learning environments where students with different strengths, learning styles, and support needs can participate, develop new skills, build confidence, and connect with their peers.
AIC offers academic enrichment and hands-on STEAM experiences that encourage literacy, problem-solving, creativity, design thinking, collaboration, and innovation. Our arts programming provides additional opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop their talents through performing and creative expression.
Performing arts offerings include classes such as piano, voice, ballet, improvisation theater, dance, and other performing arts experiences. Through these programs, students can develop artistic skills while strengthening confidence, communication, self-expression, discipline, teamwork, and performance skills.
Rather than operating exclusively from a single campus, Ave Maria AIC collaborates with community partners throughout the San Antonio metropolitan area to provide classes and enrichment opportunities in accessible community-based locations. These partnerships allow us to bring high-quality educational and extracurricular programming directly to homeschool families in different areas of the community.
At its core, Ave Maria AIC provides homeschool families with opportunities to learn, create, explore, and connect through meaningful educational experiences that recognize and support the unique abilities of every learner.
