HB APA - Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts

How are we important to education?

Research suggests a direct correlation between involvement in the arts or arts education and heightened mathematical, reading, critical thinking and organizational skills in addition to better self-concept, tolerance and empathy for others.

APA provides artistic and technical outlets for young artists and arts enthusiasts in grades 9 - 12 on Huntington Beach High School's campus. We train our students to focus on both their academic and artistic education simultaneously.

APA's visual/performing arts courses fulfill the admission requirements for colleges and universities including those of the University of California and the California State University systems.
