YES, The Academy is open
for returning & new enrollments for 2021-2022
We are pleased to be reopening fully for this coming school year!
Our Spring 2020 offering of choirs, instrumental ensembles and art classes to current families culminated in a joyful concert. It was good to be back together after the disappointments of 2020.
Our 2021-2022 class offerings include the return of theatre and dance. Much has changed in the last year, but we are confident that the joy of arts instruction, production and performance to the glory of God through the Academy has remained unchanged.
We will begin with registration for current Academy families through June 26 then proceed to add new families in postmark order until class offerings are fully enrolled.

FROM OUR RECENT PRODUCTION OF OLIVER!
"Wow! Everyone was fantastic, but I thought the three leads- Nancy, Fagin and Bill- were smokin’ last night. Nancy was tragically heartwarming, Fagin was snaky, yet comical, and Bill was scary baaaad. It’s hard to believe O-L-I-V-E-R! is O-V-E-R! " Susan
"Man, can those kids sing!! It's not just a couple of 'stand out stars', it's ALL of them!!" Keith
"Wow, Oliver! was an amazing experience. The orchestra was exceptional and added so much to the play. This was our first year at LAPA and I wasn't expecting such a high level performance from the students. My daughter has learned so much from her teachers, and I am so grateful. We were not sure if we would return to LAPA next year, due to the busyness of life, but now I wouldn't even consider not having her be a part of such a wonderful organization. She is already looking forward to next year. She loves LAPA!" Angie
