TAPA is a 7 - 12 public charter school for students living in the city of Providence with a passion for the performing arts. Students are admitted to TAPA by lottery. Families wishing to be entered into the lottery should complete an admissions application.

At TAPA, students will be taught utilizing a fully-integrated arts curriculum, where students learn math, english, science and history through drama, film, music and dance. At TAPA we use Arts Integration to affirm the indispensability of the arts as a core curriculum subject, and view the arts as a catalyst to learn other subjects.

Through a rigorous arts-integrated program, TAPA, a public charter school in Providence, Rhode Island, cultivates artist-scholars who are prepared for collegiate and professional success and leadership in a global society.
