Professional Performing Arts School

|
The Professional Performing Arts School (PPAS) is a New York City public school "created in 1990 to meet the needs of two groups of students: those who wanted to pursue professional work in the arts as they earned a junior/senior high school diploma and those who wanted to study the arts as an avocation. PPAS continues that mission today as students follow a daily schedule of academic work at school each morning and intensive performing arts instruction at professional studios each afternoon. The performing arts curriculum offers students in grades nine through twelve a unique opportunity to study the arts in a professional environment."
The school is located in 48th Street in Manhattan, about two miles (3 km) south of the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.
