The School for the Creative and Performing Arts at Bluegrass
(grades 4-8) and the SCAPA Program at Lafayette High School (grades 9-12) provide students
who are especially talented and/or interested in the arts the opportunity to
further develop and enhance their abilities in the fine arts in a setting that
emphasizes the arts while providing a solid academic foundation.
The students who attend SCAPA receive instruction in their
major area of arts interest: Visual Arts, Band, Strings, Vocal Music, Piano,
Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Drama or Creative Writing in addition to the
mandated academic curriculum. Students receive their major arts instruction on a
regularly scheduled basis (grades 4 & 5: 3 days per week; grades 6 to 12: 5
days per week). The school day is extended at Bluegrass in order to ensure that the academic
as well as arts needs of the students are met. Transportation is provided by
Fayette County Public Schools on a limited basis.
