Imagine . . .
Imagine a public high school unlike any other in our state. A place where talented youth can cultivate their skills in the arts, learn from some of the best working professionals in creative writing, dance, theatre, music and fine art, and have access to state-of-the-art facilities.
Imagine an environment where students are challenged both academically and artistically, and every day is full and enriching. Where students are encouraged, engaged, and empowered under the direction of highly trained professionals. And upon graduation, each is prepared to apply to any first-class conservatory, university, or professional company across the nation, or around the world.
There are those who have imagined it, and are now making it a reality.
This is the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists.
SPCPA is a public arts high school for grades 9–12, free to residents of the State of Minnesota.
