The majority of public schools and high schools in America are traditionally based with a curriculum that will prepare you for college. There are other schools, however, that focus one specialty such as creative and performing arts. This article will look into three such schools located in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. They have traditional classes as well as classes to enhance on the artistic talents of their students. SPCA in Cincinnati has been shown in a reality television series on MTV giving viewers an idea of what a school like this is like showing singers seated at a piano with a piano lamp or piano lamps shining down on them as they prepare to perform in an all school talent show, in one episode.

The first school is the one mentioned earlier named SPCA which stands for the School of Performing and Creative Arts located in downtown Cincinnati. It is the first public arts school in the nation and the enrollment has gone up significantly over the past year after the airing of the reality show Taking the Stage showed what the school is like on MTV. The show is similar to a real life Fame exploring the lives of different students pursuing their dreams of being a professional dancer, rapper or songwriter. A brand new facility and building will be opened for this public school for next year to house the 988 students in grades 4-12. Academics are as important as the arts here being named a Blue ribbon School in the past.

Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts has the mission to support all of the creative talents of their students while also providing a challenging college prep academic curriculum. The arts that are done here are creative writing, dance, drama, instrumental music, vocal music and visual arts. In order to be accepted to CAPA you must have good grades from your previous school and go through an audition in the art area you wish to major in. Famous singing group, Boyz II Men, all graduated from the Philadelphia Arts school.

The Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts School started in 1979 with about 35 students and has grown over the years to now have students in grades 6-12 at the school studying a variety of arts programs. During the 2003-2004 school year, they moved into a new facility that has a large auditorium, a theatre, an art gallery, a television studio and large rehearsal areas for all of the various arts to practice in. This new building puts this school a step above many of the others in the area and because of that, the competition to get in to this school is very difficult.

There are over 350 arts schools in the US, but only a few of them have been nationally recognized for being some of the best including the ones described in this article. Kids are becoming more interested in arts schools today and the Taking the Stage show will only increase that interest.
