In 2021, we introduced "The NYPAA Experience", an intense fun-filled program that provides performing arts training for students in a condensed two-week timeframe, which ends with an agent & manager showcase, and much more.

With student housing in both Chelsea and the Theater District, you could meet your new best friend or create the world's next successful TV pilot, film or Broadway play right on your residence floor. We believe in the contribution that performing artists give to the world. We also believe in affordable courses for anyone who loves the arts.

Maa Saakhi is the best. My daughter went from trying to play piano using apps to having an excellent piano teacher who is excellent. She is so thrilled and even practices on her own. I couldn’t be happier with Maa Saakhi.

Great school. I am Rafael Montilla, a visual artist based in Miami, FL. I will be in NYC doing my performance Cube Man "I am you"  July 8, 9 10 2021 Hashtag #cubemannyc.The cube plays a central part of my proposal. It represents a symbol of harmony, unity and balance of our life. I build and deconstruct the cube shape as a fundamental imprint of the universe. “I Am You” performance based in the #thekubeman series I dress in a white suit and the head is a cube-mirror made of acrylic in which people can be reflected; it is a dialogue of people with themselves, because you do not see my identity

This looks like a place I've always wanted to attend. What ages do you accept? And is it harder to get accepted if you live in another country?

You want a place that will tell you like it is, this is the place. Professionals who care about what they teach and the connections they make with their students. The improvement in my sons acting, his singing is remarkable.

John,
Thank you so much for the full year scholarship from the New York Performing Arts Academy. I learned so much in your program. All of your instructors were so knowledgeable and experienced in their fields.
For the Acting Department, the lessons from both you and Karina were invaluable, and will help me in the rest of my career. Besides the regular lessons, like acting out scenes from movies like “The Little Princess”, learning about the behind the scenes work that goes into producing a play or movie will help me be more competitive in the future.
Working with Devon on dance was so much
