Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Performing Arts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Performing Arts, or LVPA, is a 4 year liberal arts high school located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Northampton County, in the United States.
Students commute to the school from numerous school districts, but primarily from the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania. Students can attend programs in six artistic disciplines: dance, figure skating, instrumental music, theatre, visual arts and vocal music.
Most students spend half of their school day studying in their artistic areas, and the other half of the day in academic classes. There is no tuition at LVPA because it is a charter school.
