J-Term
For the first three weeks of January each year, J-Term replaces a student’s regularly scheduled academic and arts classes. Students are immersed in daily rehearsals for an arts performance project. J-Term is considered a “how to rehearse” class, giving all students an opportunity to be in a formal rehearsal process. Rehearsals culminate with one or more workshop-style performances for family and peers. J-Term endeavors to replicate the professional experience, introduce students to professional venues and artists, and engages students in the artistic energy of rehearsals/performances under the direction of SPCPA faculty and/or guest professional artists. J-Term is an important part of our training.
J-Term is curricular and required as part of SPCPA’s regular academic year. Students earn a full credit for successful participation; grades are Pass or Fail. Students are required to attend daily rehearsals and performances; participation is not optional. The school’s attendance policies do apply to J-Term, but on a condensed scale: two (2) unexcused absences during J-Term puts a student in jeopardy of not passing J-Term. Parents/Guardians are still responsible for reporting attendance matters (Attendance Hotline: 651-222-3200, press 1 to skip ahead to the beep).
