The Acosta Danza Academy and Company has been named one of the 50 finalists for the Global Schools Prize, an international accolade recognizing educational institutions deemed exceptional for their ability to redefine the boundaries of learning.
Promoted by the Varkey Foundation and based in the United Arab Emirates, this award stands as the foremost global initiative of its kind.
Acosta Danza’s nomination in the Arts & Culture Award 2024 category is a testament to the academy's unwavering commitment to artistic excellence and pedagogical innovation.
According to the organizers' social media announcement, ten schools will receive financial awards, with one institution being honored with the grand prize. The winners will be revealed at the World Education Forum in London this May.
Cuba's National Council of Performing Arts stated that this recognition is a source of collective pride and serves as a prime example of the institution's mission to foster a sensitive, creative, and globally-minded educational environment.
The Varkey Foundation initiative aims to celebrate schools across the globe that are shaping the future of education by providing opportunities to every student, regardless of their background.
