PERFORMING ARTS AT SPA
Educating. Guiding. Inspiring.
SPA welcomes performing arts students of every skill level with programs focusing on Dance, Music, Theater, and Media Arts. There are no auditions for admission to SPA or our programs. The curriculum is available for beginning and exploring students as well as those who are seeking advanced level training and education in their given discipline. We encourage our students to explore new classes and interests during their time at SPA.
Since our teachers are also professional artists themselves, SPA's programs are designed to motivate future artists and those who love to perform. Our desire is to create positive learning and performing experiences for all students and to provide the knowledge and inspiration to take their art to the next level. Our students receive intensive preparation for college and for an exciting career.
ACADEMICS AT SPA
Along with the unique performing arts curriculum, through a partnership with the Salt Lake City School District we are able to offer a complete array of academic classes, including AP, Honors and Concurrent Enrollment courses.
Additionally, we offer a blended learning environment classroom where students are able to take their CORE classes in a Student-paced, student-focused digital curriculum.
Whether in our Academic or our Performing arts classes, our faculty and staff work with students to stimulate intellectual, artistic and technical originality. By providing such an environment, we strive to graduate young people who can work independently and creatively.
