Imagine attending a public high school in the heart of downtown St. Paul, unlike any other in the country. Learn the skills and techniques to become a professional artist from current working artists. Receive a college conservatory level arts education under the guidance of current professional artists. Prepare for college academically in on-level, advanced or AP classes.
No audition. No tuition
SPCPA provides authentic arts training taught by current professional artists using the conservatory model while delivering rigorous academics aligned with Minnesota state standards in English, math, science, social studies, and world languages. Students engage in a comprehensive educational experience that integrates college-preparatory academics with intensive arts instruction in a supportive, creative community.
I had an amazing experience at this arts school! From the moment I walked through the door, I felt inspired by the creativity and talent all around me. The faculty and staff were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always pushing me to be my best and never giving up on me. Not only did I develop my artistic skills in ways I never imagined, but I also made lasting friendships with fellow students who share my passion for the arts. The resources and opportunities available at this school are unparalleled, and I feel so grateful to have been a part of such a vibrant and welcoming community. I would highly recommend this arts school to anyone looking to grow their talents and discover their potential as an artist.
An important part of SPCPA’s purpose is to connect the students and the school to the Twin Cities professional arts community in a number of ways.

SPCPA NHS Spirit Week is almost at an end ☹
Thursday was Iconic Picture of Little You. Students took a stroll down memory lane, found their most iconic pic, and recreated it for the world to see. Staff icon Ms. Reinhardt also got in on the fun.
We are looking forward to see how creative students get with their Halloween costumes today! 👻💚🖤🎃

SPCPA NHS Spirit Week continues! Wednesday was "Favorite Pop Culture Moment." Though we cannot confirm, we are pretty sure that Tom Holland was not being carried around under the hat of a student. That seems to just be a wild internet rumor. We are looking forward to the iconic pictures of our artists today!💚🖤

A school favorite returns!
At SPCPA, creativity doesn’t stop when class ends. Our D&D Club brings students together to build worlds, tell stories, solve problems, take risks, and, occasionally, roll a very unfortunate number. D'oh!
New adventurers welcome.
Experienced players welcome.
Imagination required.
The club gathers Thursdays in the Science Wizard's Lair after school.
🎲🧝♀️🐉💚🖤

“All the world’s a stage.”
And this week, our Shakespeare Text and Performance students got to take the stage with a true expert.
Rodney Cottier, Professor of Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama at LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art), joined our students for a master class exploring Shakespeare.
There’s nothing quite like getting into the work with someone who has spent a career bringing Shakespeare to life. Thank you Professor Cottier!💚🖤
