School Overview

The **Arts & Humanities Focus Program (AHFP)**, located in Lincoln, Nebraska, is an alternative high school program designed for students who thrive in a smaller, non-traditional learning environment. Operating as a partnership between Lincoln Public Schools and the Lied Center for Performing Arts, the program emphasizes interdisciplinary studies. Its curriculum integrates core academic requirements with a deep exploration of the arts, literature, philosophy, and history, encouraging students to make meaningful connections between diverse fields of study.

The school is defined by its intimate, community-oriented culture and its focus on critical thinking and creative expression. Rather than adhering to a standard classroom structure, the program promotes a democratic, collaborative atmosphere where student voice is highly valued. By utilizing the city’s cultural resources and fostering a personalized approach to education, the Arts & Humanities Focus Program prepares students to be engaged, creative, and thoughtful citizens who are ready for both higher education and active participation in the arts community.
