Where Young Talent Becomes Tomorrow's Stars in Kentucky's Premier Performing Arts High School

As the most comprehensive performing arts high school in Kentucky, the faculty, staff, and administration of the Youth Performing Arts School (YPAS) have the distinct opportunity to train, educate, and nurture today’s young talent to become tomorrow’s artists.  The school has an environment where creativity and imagination are evidenced daily in the classroom, rehearsals, and performances.  Students team with faculty, parents, professional artists, and community members to develop, perfect, and practice their craft in artistic experiences, uncommon to any regular program school setting.  Students’ success is founded on commitment and discipline applied to the artistic program, and success is enhanced by the school’s rich diversity and understanding of the creative spirit.
