Maple Grove Academy · Grades 9–12

Where young artists
find their voice.

I'm Priya Sharma, and I teach Visual Arts at Maple Grove Academy. Step into a program built on curiosity, craft, and color — and see the remarkable work my students create.

A note from your art teacher

Art is a way of seeing — and every student has something to say.

For more than a decade I've had the joy of watching students discover what their hands and imaginations can do. In my classroom, a blank page isn't intimidating — it's an invitation. Whether a student is sketching their first still life or assembling a college-ready portfolio, my goal is the same: to help them see clearly, work bravely, and take pride in what they make.

This site is a window into our program. Browse the gallery from last year's exhibition, learn about the three courses I teach, and reach out anytime — I'd love to hear from you.
