Who We Are
Saint John’s School of the Arts (SOTA) opened its doors for lessons on September 3, 1996 at Saint John’s United Methodist Church in the Newberry Neighborhood of Williamsport.
Twenty-eight years later, SOTA is a vibrant member of the North Central PA arts community with big dreams, and a bigger heart. In 2023, we installed a Board of Directors and received our 501(c)(3) non-profit status. In January 2024, we relocated to First Church Williamsport’s North Campus.
Our students study with expert teachers who are dedicated to their students, not only as musicians, dancers, and artists, but also as mentors. We empower students with confidence and courage to make a difference in the world by celebrating creativity, diversity, and lasting relationships built in our lessons.
Looking Forward
As we continue our mission, we are looking forward to offering more classes, lessons, fellowship, service, connections, improved facilities and performances.
