“I attended SCPA 7th-12th grade. It is an excellent school with terrific programs. The student body is very accepting of all persons and the school helps to foster creativity and proffesionalism. Both skills vital to all careers not just in the arts. Also SCPA has very good academics to go along side the arts.”

“Funding is a big problem for this school. Until they get a new school one needs to be accepting of the somewhat shoddy facilities. Performances are awesome. Student body is accepting of individuality. Most of the teachers are excellent but as anywhere there are a few that shouldn't be teaching. Students must audition to gain acceptance, but as the school receives much needed funding based solely on student enrollment, they are not entirely selective and take most applicants regardless of talent. There were 3 different principals there during my child's four years of attendance. More parents need to step up and help. Elementary (through 8th) dismissal time is late and most kids don't get home till almost 5. This is a Cincinnati public school, free to all who reside in the city but open to others with tuition. Interview arts teachers and really find out what they are about!”

“I attended SCPA from the 7th grade through the 12th. I really enjoyed it. The dance program was great. Though I did not continue dancing as a career, I really enjoyed it. I plan on sending my children there when they are old enough.”

“I have two children at SCPA and have been very pleased with their experiences. They love that they have their arts classes EVERY DAY not just once or twice a week. That is a big plus. In addition, the academics are very good college prep and quite rigorous. I find the teachers are very good as well, and really care about the students' successes. I know a couple kids who came in with some difficulties with certain academic subjects, and the school has arranged extra tutoring to help them catch up. For our family it is a very good fit, a gem of a school that will enrich our children creatively while preparing them for college. I am not sure if they will pursue arts-related careers or not, but feel that the arts exposure is a wonderful aspect of the school.”
