    We not only enhance the talents of gifted students in the artistic subjects; we help students find themselves and develop into well-rounded individuals. We believe all students have a gift and we need to help each individual student discover and develop that hidden talent.

    Professionals in the artistic fields visit and conduct seminars and performances regularly. Most guests involve Central Visual and Performing Arts High School students in their seminars and workshops. Parents are encouraged to participate in school activities and help their child succeed. Our students are constantly requested to perform for community groups, St. Louis Public Schools and other school districts throughout the country.

    In addition to the artistic programs, Central Visual and Performing Arts High School has a strong academic program to complete the artistic offerings, preparing students for the college of their choice. Foreign languages, dual enrollment and Advanced Placement courses strengthen the academic offerings.
