Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts

SLSPA seeks to instill in its students the life skills of creativity, confidence, collaboration, communication, and leadership. SLSPA encourages self-expression, nurtures self-esteem, and challenges the imagination. The School will provide students with the opportunity to learn from the finest performers and educators in their fields where the quality of the creative effort fosters confidence, joy, self-discipline, and a deep, abiding love of excellence and high achievement. 

SLSPA was created with a focus on the performing arts which enhances learning. Both national and local educators agree that arts education is a stimulant for academic achievement as well as training for artists and the development of cultural appreciation. By focusing on the arts, our students and staff will generate a lively, happy, and successful community in which they thrive academically and socially. 

Gifted young performers will be provided highly specialized and rigorous training in the arts while still focusing on important academic achievement. To learn, to sing, to dance, to play, to act...these are the aspirations of our young performers.
