WE BELIEVE that young people with an excitement for the arts should have the opportunity and encouragement to develop not only a variety of artistic skills, but also their creativity, self-expression, academic potential, intellectual insight, moral character, and sense of community responsibility.

WE BELIEVE that sound artistic training, discipline and exposure to the arts help build the qualities of character, judgment, insight and sensitivity so important to good citizenship and to a rewarding life in any vocation the student might choose.

THE MISSION of the School for the Creative and Performing Arts is to provide an education for students who are especially talented or interested in the arts. SCAPA provides all students the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential within a fine arts setting. A solid academic foundation is provided and respect for cultural diversity is instilled. The community will gain artists, advocates of the arts, and valued contributors to society as these students make their careers and life choices.

At SCAPA we...

"Keep the ARTS in our hearts: Appreciation, Respect, Teamwork, and Self-discipline."  GO, PENGUINS!
