Clubs

The philosophy of the Performing Arts Academy is that performance opportunities should be available to all students. There are many students in other academies with artistic talent. As in any traditional high school we offer several extra-curricular activities within the arts so that all students can benefit.

Please see the Student Resource Site to view all Clubs offered at ACIT
