No audition. No tuition
SPCPA provides authentic arts training taught by current professional artists using the conservatory model while delivering rigorous academics aligned with Minnesota state standards in English, math, science, social studies, and world languages. Students engage in a comprehensive educational experience that integrates college-preparatory academics with intensive arts instruction in a supportive, creative community.
I had an amazing experience at this arts school! From the moment I walked through the door, I felt inspired by the creativity and talent all around me. The faculty and staff were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always pushing me to be my best and never giving up on me. Not only did I develop my artistic skills in ways I never imagined, but I also made lasting friendships with fellow students who share my passion for the arts. The resources and opportunities available at this school are unparalleled, and I feel so grateful to have been a part of such a vibrant and welcoming community. I would highly recommend this arts school to anyone looking to grow their talents and discover their potential as an artist.
An important part of SPCPA’s purpose is to connect the students and the school to the Twin Cities professional arts community in a number of ways.
