It has been proven in many studies that students
who have a strong training in the arts do better
on standardized test than students who have no
arts education. The arts make not only the
students better, but the community as well.

All art forms have a place at Paseo Academy. It's
a place to improve your talents, show off your
talents and cultivate your talents that you might
not have known you had. The school, which becomes
like a family, integrates the arts throughout
college preparatory classes many other activities
that prepare you for life after high school.

Theater is the only art form that encompasses all
of the art forms such as creative writing, music,
dance, and visual arts. Theater students can
obtain analytical and oral language skills as well
as self confidence and discipline for careers in
the ever growing entertainment industry. The
skills learned in theater will also be helpful in
other careers outside of the entertainment
industry such as, public speaking, law, and
politics.

Dance is a visual art form that allows the body to
act as an instrument for expression. Dance Majors
have the chance to participate in the All Arts
holiday performance like Holiday on the Hill, and
take a trip to The Big Apple experience. To rap up
the year, the entire Dance Department will present
the All Arts Dance & Theater senior showcase.

VISUAL ARTS Through drawing, graphic design,
ceramics, painting and printmaking, the visual art
major develops a thorough understanding and range
of skills using two-dimensional media. Students
are led to employ a wide range of vocabulary in
visual art and polish skills, which readies them
for a post secondary program of study in visual
art.

Television Production/Broadcasting is a Career and
Technical Education program that operates out of
Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts. The
goal of the program is two-fold: first to
introduce all students in the Kansas City Public
schools to the television and broadcast journalism
industry, teach them how it works and present the
career opportunities. Second, the program will
prepare students to be college, career and work
ready in the television and broadcasting
journalism industry.

Technical theater at Paseo focuses on resume and
portfolio building through hands on real life
learning. Students will learn the basics in
technical theater production and design in the
classroom and by acting as interns for Paseo
Academy and assist in the technical productions
for all school events such as music, dance, and
poetry performances.

The Choral Music Conservatory students study Voice
Pedagogy of Performance, Concert Choir, Chamber
Choir, Theory 1 and 2, Piano 1 and 2 and
Individualized Lessons. We also offer a Middle
School component for 7th and 8th graders. Our
Choral Music Conservatory provides many
performance opportunities for students to formally
and creatively express themselves. Upon completion
of their choral studies students are worthy for
music scholarship, for the post secondary studies
or ready for entry into the professional arena.

Creative Writing students study poetry, fiction,
nonfiction and playwriting. In addition to
studying published works, students write critical
responses to literature. Writing of exceptional
merit is published in the Poets Voice, Paseo's
literary magazine. You might find students reading
at The Writers Place and the Blue Room.

Instrumental Music/Band students will have the
desire to perform music other have composed. They
either have developed skills and already play a
musical instrument or have a desire to learn. They
will have the discipline to be able to follow a
teacher's directions and the self-discipline to
practice.

Instrumental Music/Orchestra students will have
the desire to perform music other have composed.
They either have the skills and already play a
stringed instrument or have the desire to learn.
They will have the discipline to be able to follow
a teacher's directions and the self-discipline to

It has been proven in many studies that students
who have a strong training in the arts do better
on standardized test and are more likely to
succeed in post secondary education than students
who have no arts education. The arts make not only
the students better but the community as well.
Paseo Academy of the Fine and Performing Arts can
make it better.
