by College of Adaptive Arts
Founded in 2009 in San Jose, California, the College of Adaptive Arts (CAA) was created to fill the gap in lifelong learning that occurs after formal schooling ends for adults with disabilities. Unlike adult day programmes, CAA is designed as a genuine higher-education model — a natural extension of the community college experience — where students are treated with full academic dignity.
CAA offers one-hour arts classes across ten Schools of Instruction, with students able to take a single class for a 3-unit certificate or progress through undergraduate (60-unit), graduate (120-unit), and post-graduate (240-unit) articulated programmes. Subjects include music, visual arts, dance, theatre, writing, and wellness, all adapted to each student's individual pace, learning style, and abilities by a staff of credentialed educators and working artists.
Adults aged 18 and older with intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities who want to pursue arts education in a structured, dignity-affirming collegiate environment rather than a traditional day-programme model.
