Performing Arts Academy is a Non-Profit Theater Arts company based in South Denver/Highlands Ranch focused on creating community, building character, and inspiring excellence through performing arts education by bringing the transformative power of theatre to all people. We strive to cultivate self confidence, enhance fundamental skills, and build the character of each participant no matter what their experience level. Under the tutelage of an experienced and professional faculty, PAA nurtures community values and appropriately tailors all educational experiences for each age group. At PAA, we place a high value on the student experience and with that comes the responsibility to engage the student in dialogue around our core values: Curriculum, Character, and Community. In order to sustain a consistent method of instruction, our Teaching Artists create curriculums that follow or align with state standards for music and arts education. We also stress the importance of building an individual’s character through transformative experiences that can often lead to greater self esteem, leadership ability, service and acceptance of diversity. In addition, the value of being in community is simply allowing the student to recognize the connectedness we all share and how they function differently because of that awareness.
As a public school of choice in Highlands Ranch, PRA offers students and their families a smaller school environ- ment and a curriculum alternative. The academic program follows the Core Knowledge Foundation content based curriculum as outlined in the Scope and Sequence and in the book series by E.D. Our Guiding Principles are fostering a sense of belonging, honoring traditions, and developing the whole child. PRA offers Elementary Grades K - 5th, Middle School Grades 6th - 8th, Kindergarten Prep and a Classical Academy for Homeschoolers, K-8.
