About the School for the Creative and Performing Arts (SCAPA)
The School for the Creative and Performing Arts at Bluegrass (grades 4-8) and the SCAPA Program at Lafayette High School (grades 9-12) provide students who are especially talented and/or interested in the arts the opportunity to further develop and enhance their abilities in the fine arts in a setting that emphasizes the arts while providing a solid academic foundation.
The students who attend SCAPA receive instruction in their major area of arts interest: Visual Arts, Band, Strings, Vocal Music, Piano, Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Drama or Creative Writing in addition to the mandated academic curriculum. Students receive their major arts instruction on a regularly scheduled basis (grades 4 & 5: 3 days per week; grades 6 to 12: 5 days per week). The school day is extended at Bluegrass in order to ensure that the academic as well as arts needs of the students are met. Transportation is provided by Fayette County Public Schools on a limited basis.
The students receive instruction in ballet, contemporary dance, creative writing, drama, music (band, piano, strings, or voice), and visual arts from arts specialists and community resources, in addition to the regular academic curriculum.
