AMPA Overview

The Academy of Music and Performing Arts views the arts as essential to the human spirit. We engage and support students who have a passion for music and/or performing arts. Students are prepared to make informed future educational and career choices by immersing them in challenging and rigorous performance programs which are fused with academics, evolving technologies, and professional experiences. This is a place of artistic integrity, where students may collaborate on artistic endeavors to expand their technique and knowledge. 

AMPA is a qualified educational program which develops students through a curriculum that integrates the performing arts and college preparatory academies. AMPA students can choose from a variety of AP courses, join any club, and take classes after school through the on-campus West LA College program or any other accredited community college. Our graduation rate is 95% and AMPA students are also proud to be admitted to renowned conservatories and top universities. We create and develop critical thinking as well as develop students academically, artistically, and socially; so they leave school as independent, cooperative, responsible and creative young adults.
