Welcome to The Conservatory at the North Texas Performing Arts Academy, now enrolling for 2022-2023 in Plano and Fairview!
Educate. Explore. Experience.
The North Texas Performing Arts Academy Conservatory provides a high-quality educational experience in a flexible, supportive learning environment to students in grades 6-12 with a passion for the performing arts.
Students can pursue 7 unique certifications that cover the entire breadth of a serious theatrical arts education with our professional team of qualified directors and instructors. We work in tandem with the largest youth theatre in the country, holding classes in real, working theatres, providing training and experiences not typically available to students outside the collegiate and professional world.
The Conservatory provides a unique educational model that combines this artistic training with The Core: our answer to a traditional educational model. We partner with students and parents in guided independent study through on-site access to study spaces and our credentialed educational staff who will make sure you are achieving your core educational goals in tandem with your artistic training.
