As we begin a new school year at the Academy for Performing Arts, I am filled with excitement and optimism about all that lies ahead. Our school is a truly special place because of the talented, creative, and dedicated students who walk through our doors each day, and the incredible faculty and staff who are committed to helping them grow. I am confident that this will be a year filled with learning, discovery, creativity, and many moments that we will celebrate together.

APA Mission
The Academy for Performing Arts is an innovative four year high school, immersing students in honors’ level academics while training in a pre-professional artistic setting within majors such as theatre, dance, or technical theatre. The Academy fosters the discipline, integrity and passion necessary for students to succeed at the post-secondary level and as members of the performing arts community. The culmination of the program allows the students to complete their senior year by taking college-level courses and receiving college credit at Kean University.
