Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), colloquially called "OH-sha", is a 7th–12th grade public charter school located in downtown Santa Ana, Orange County, California. The school caters to middle and high school students with talents in the performing, visual and literary arts. The educational program prepares students for higher education institutions or employment in the professional arts industry. Both the academic and arts program have prompted recognition in the US News' "Best High Schools" program. OCSA recently changed their school name to from "The Orange County High School of the Arts" (OCHSA) to "The Orange County School of the Arts" in order to include the middle grade students in the title.
