TRINITY ACADEMY PERFORMING ART

Trinity Academy Performing Art is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts school district, located in Providence, RI with about 212 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, Trinity Academy Performing Art has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

**Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts (TAPA)**, located at 150 Washington Street in downtown Providence, is a specialized public charter school serving students in grades 7 through 12.

Students at TAPA engage in daily training in disciplines such as dance, theater, music, and visual arts, allowing them to balance traditional academic requirements with professional-level artistic development.

Beyond its academic and artistic focus, TAPA is widely recognized for its commitment to social-emotional learning and community engagement. The school fosters a culturally responsive and inclusive environment that encourages students to find their voices and express themselves as leaders and social advocates. By leveraging its prime location in the heart of Providence’s arts district, TAPA frequently collaborates with local cultural institutions, providing students with unique opportunities to perform, exhibit their work, and engage with the city’s vibrant professional arts community.
