"ACPA was formed with the idea of creating a safe learning environment for every student...My school is a tight knit community and I wouldn't want It any other way." - ACPA Senior

"The teachers and staff are kind, there's a strong focus on arts, and I'm happy with the curriculum. I think the teachers and staff work really hard to create a good environment for the kids." - ACPA Parent

"I recommend that anyone that wants to go to a school where you are cared about should come here." - ACPA Junior

"I think the best thing about our school is the amount of opportunities that students have to learn about different types of arts and try their hand at it, while also still having a good academic program." - 2024 Graduate

"I look back on my time at ACPA often, and think about how lucky I was to have so many opportunities and connections at my fingertips there - I could try out any art form I wanted and I received so much support from my teachers and peers while doing so!" ACPA Alum
