History

Russian State Specialized Academy of Arts is former State Specialized Institute of Arts (SSIA) which was established in 1991. The Institute was granted the Academy status in 2014. The Academy is the only higher educatinal establishment in the world that provides people with limited physical abilities to have higher education in the arts: music, theatre and painting.[2] The idea of inclusive education is being effectively implemented at the Academy for more than 20 years. Modern education methods and socially balanced student composition promote this educational form. [3]

Campus

The four-storey building of the Academy was built in the early 1950s according to the standard project of L. A. Stepanova.[4] Initially, it housed School 96 of Kievsky district of Moscow. Despite the fact that the building is a standard, and a number of other schools were built on the same project in Moscow, it is listed in the register of cultural heritage as a "monument of architecture of Federal importance".
