The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts arts-centered curriculum pairs pre-professional training in the arts with a rigorous core academic program. Students are accepted based only upon their artistic talent and potential.
Read the Board Policy regarding Admission of Students.
The school’s rigorous curriculum fosters both academic and artistic excellence for its students. The school’s impressive Future Ready PA Index ranking, Advanced Placement (AP) exam statistics, Keystone Exam statistics, SAT scores, prestigious artistic accolades, and graduation rate, are testaments to the outstanding education that Charter Arts provides.
Recently, Charter Arts was ranked as #1 Best Charter High School in PA & #2 Best Public High School Teachers in PA on Niche’s 2024 Best Schools in America Rankings. Charter Arts was one of only four Lehigh Valley schools to make The Top 100 Public High Schools in PA on U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 Best Schools.
Charter Arts has created a culture of high achievement across all art and core disciplines. Our creative students think and learn differently. Charter Arts is a regional charter high school, funded by Pennsylvania taxpayer dollars, that attracts students from a ten-county region in eastern Pennsylvania. Students audition for acceptance into one of seven artistic majors: dance, instrumental music, literary arts, production arts (film & technical theatre), theatre, visual arts, and vocal music.
