APA Jr. & Kids

The Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts (APA) has collaboratively partnered with the Huntington Beach City School District (HBCSD) to enhance visual and performing arts education in our community through the development of the APA Kids and APA Jr. programs. The goal of the partnership between the visual performing arts education programs within Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD) and HBCSD is to provide a seamless bridging of curriculum and course offerings. 

Through this partnership, students will be provided new opportunities to explore their artistic side, enrich their visual and performing arts education, and be more prepared to participate in a visual and performing arts program at the HBUHSD high school of their choice.
