The Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School was founded in September 2000 as the only elementary Performing Arts school in the city of Philadelphia.
Our student enrollment is kindergarten through eighth grade with 450 students enrolled with an ongoing waiting list of more than 1,000 applicants. Our mission is to:
Educate each child according to age and development, so that learning and growth are united;
Integrate the developing mind and body of the child with academics and the performing arts:
Ensure each child's excellence in core academic skills;
Awaken and preserve the spirit of our children through the visual arts, vocal arts, instrumental music, drama, classical ballet, French language, computers and information technology, and;
Nourish this spirit and curiosity so that students continue to flourish long after the end of formal training.
