Overview Paragraph
Our students graduate with the skills necessary for success in the 21st century. In September 2015, The New York Post recognized TAPCo as one of the top NYC high schools for art and performance. We are also a STEAM school, which means we learn through exploring the connections between Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math. Our freshmen students major in Theater, Dance, Music, or Visual Studies with the opportunity for internships at world-class arts organizations during their senior year. Our senior class typically achieves a 99% college acceptance rate and are offered over $1 million in scholarships and grants (not loans).
