To accommodate PVPA’s tremendous range of offerings, the school day lasts from 8:30 a.m. until 4:15 p.m. This is quite a schedule for students whose days are made longer by their travel time, as they come to PVPA from over sixty cities and towns in western Massachusetts.

Students also have rehearsal time for shows, which often last until 8:30 p.m. Our committed students, who voluntarily choose this demanding schedule over the shorter learning day of a traditional high school, are our best evidence that our educational dream is becoming reality.

Our students truly want to be involved in school.
