[edit] History[7]

PPAS was created in 1990 to meet the needs of two groups of students: those who wanted to pursue professional work in the arts as they earned a junior/senior high school diploma and those who wanted to study the arts as a vocation. PPAS continues that mission today as students follow a daily schedule of academic work at school each morning and intensive performing arts instruction at professional studios each afternoon. The performing arts curriculum offers students in grades six through twelve(same school) a unique opportunity to study the arts in a professional environment." The school is located in West 48th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan, about 17 blocks south of the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. The school is operated by the New York City Department of Education.
