Overview of the Academy

AVPA is dedicated to nurturing and developing a student’s capacity for artistic expression through an integrated, relevant curriculum tailored to their individual needs. Recognizing that no educational program can have a “one size fits all” philosophy, Essex High School developed this “school within a school” academy model to provide in-depth academic and artistic opportunities for students.

Balance between artistic development and academic preparation is at the heart of the AVPA. By offering the following five career strands of study students are exposed to a variety of the arts and the careers associated with them:

  • Visual & New Media Arts
  • Theatre & Film
  • Dance
  • Vocal & Instrumental Music
  • Interdisciplinary Arts

Through a Personalized Learning Plan (PLP), students have the opportunity to create a defined career pathway that will best meet their individual needs and interests. In addition, supplemental learning opportunities such as master classes, workshops, internships, fieldtrips, and possible duel-enrollment in college course are offered.
