Charter Arts is an audition-based public charter school that provides a comprehensive curriculum for high school students, grades 9-12, who have a dedicated passion for the creative or performing arts.   Students major in one of seven artistic areas: dance, instrumental music, literary arts, production arts (film & technical theatre), theatre, visual arts, or vocal music.

Auditions for the 2025-2026 school year will be held in late January/early February and are by appointment only. Any student entering 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade who resides in Pennsylvania is eligible to audition.
