What is The VAPA Pathway?
The VAPA Pathway is a program that recognizes students who put in the effort and time to take and succeed in visual and performing arts classes. The amount of classes that are taken and passed with at least a C will increase the students level in the society. For those aiming for the highest level, outside class hours are required.
