The Academy for Visual & Performing
Arts is one of ten publicly-supported
academic and career academies offered through the
Morris County School of Technology. These magnet schools
are scholastically challenging “schools within
a school” designed to attract students who have
similar interests and aspirations to an available
technical field. Our academies prepare students for
acceptance into post-secondary education from the
most prestigious four-year colleges and universities,
to the most rigorous technical institutions and training
programs.
The advantages afforded by an academy
education include small classes, advanced programs
of study highly qualified teachers specializing in
the field, earned college credits upon graduation,
and real-world experience gained through internships
with business and industry. All students tech as well
as perform, putting on smaller-scale performances
of professional work. Through doing so, they all gain
a more all-encompassing knowledge of different aspects
of the field
The Academy for Visual & Performing
Arts provides students with a rigorous, work-based
curriculum preparing them for work in the field of
dance or multimedia and drama. Students take advanced
humanities, history, and English classes with an emphasis
on the arts, maintaining a career background in the
curriculum.
