Please join us in welcoming Heather Perrow to the ACPA team!

"With a background in education and dance, I have found the perfect place to bring these passions together at ACPA. My work includes modern, ballet, jazz, wheelchair dance, and other movement styles. Whether I am in a classroom or the dance studio my focus is on helping students build confidence, creativity, technique, and community. My memorable experiences in dance include choreographing a wheelchair dance for Slippery Rock University and performing at the Dance Festival in Lyon, France. I continue to enjoy collaborative work that brings dance together with live music and visual art. Inspiration from other artists and the rehearsal process are two of my favorite aspects of dance."

Chalkfest is more than just chalk.

Chalkfest is: Music. Connection. Creating off the paper. Good food. Good people. The welcoming of fall. Tie-dye. Seeing the heart of ACPA. Student creators. Collaboration. Friendship. Moving your body. Community. Small businesses. Supporting your peers. So much more.

So, why chalk?

There's something bittersweet about pouring so much heart into something to be washed away with the rain - but as with so many other things, the memory that sticks with us is what actually counts. Chalkfest is a chance to come together, create something beautiful, take those memories with us, and then do it all over again. Each year, ACPA's campus becomes another blank canvas to be filled with music, people, memories - and of course, chalk.

We can't wait to paint (chalk) our canvas with new memories this year!

Changing schools is a big decision that leaves many parents and caregivers wondering: Will my student feel safe? Will my student thrive here? Will the teachers challenge my student?

Open House is the perfect opportunity to get all the answers you need about if ACPA is the right fit for your student. Our staff will have their classrooms open and ready for you to explore and ask questions. Join us!

Class highlight: Fashion

Working in small design teams, students were challenged with transforming ordinary trash bags into a wearable fashion piece. The Big Idea behind this activity: Great collaboration doesn’t require everyone to have the same ideas. It requires finding ways for individual ideas to work together.
