Committed teachers who emphasize health balance between academics and finding your passion through the arts. Diverse community which enables growth and learning through human interaction

PVPA is a school with a strong sense of community. There is tons of opportunities for students to stretch their wings, and explore new opportunities in the arts. The teachers at PVPA are a treasure, very kind and very human people.
