Earn High School Credit for Classes & Shows at Performing Arts Academy

Taking classes or participating in a musical theater production with Performing Arts Academy (PAA) gives high school students the opportunity to shorten their school day, pursue personal interests not offered at their school, or even graduate early!

PAA has partnered with Alta Independent, who has verified that PAA curriculum meets high school credit requirements. High school students can earn 0.5 credits for each PAA semester-long class or show (minimum 60 hours of instruction) which can be applied toward P.E., Fine Arts, or Electives requirements for your High School Diploma.
