Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is a school-within-a-school in Coronado, California. It is located on the campus of Coronado High School. The school currently enrolls 155 students,[1] of which nearly 70% comes from outside Coronado.[2] CoSA is largely an after-hours program[2] with a focus on the arts, in which students take academic courses at Coronado High School in the morning.[1]

The school offers classes in classical and contemporary dance, musical theater and drama, instrumental music, technical theater, visual art, and digital media and filmmaking.[1] It has Ph.D.s on its faculty and what The San Diego Union-Tribune calls "a formidable fund-raising auxiliary", the CoSA Foundation.[3]
