In September, 2002, The Arts and College Preparatory Academy opened its doors to high school students in the Central Ohio community. Since the beginning, ACPA has provided its students with first rate academic instruction, along with many opportunities to engage in artistic expression.
ACPA graduates pursue post-secondary studies in a variety of settings throughout the country. All students receive concentrated assistance to apply and enroll in colleges and universities. Recent ACPA graduates attend a variety of universities and colleges such as Otterbein University, Ohio Dominican University, Capital University, Bowling Green State University, The Ohio State University, Ohio State Newark, ITT Tech, Columbus State Community College, as well as specialty schools such as The Cooper Union and Columbus College of Art and Design.
