• All ECAs registrations are completed through the school store. 

The Performing Arts catalog of extra curricular activities and courses has something for every grade level.  But many of the courses lean toward grade levels 5-8. Some of the ECAs offered to the lower grade level students include Rebel Drama, Rebel Choir, Elementary Musical, Beginning and Intermediate Musical Theater Dance, & Rebel Band and Orchestra, to name a few. 

• AAPA courses are held before school, after school, occasional weekends, as well as summer.
• Course enrollments occur throughout the year in 3 sessions (fall/winter, spring, summer)

• Students may enroll as early as 5th grade. Students enrolling in 5th grade will have more time to complete their required course of study
• Students who wish to enroll in the program for the 1st time after sixth grade are welcome to do so, but will need to meet with advisors (AAPA Staff) to determine suitable alternatives to course work unable to be completed in traditional sequence. Options may include summer offerings, or independent study.

When enrolling in the program on the school store annually, you will be prompted to select from the various programming tracks, as to which path your student wishes to pursue.  Appointments may be scheduled with a Performing Arts staff member who can help advise your student as to which track maybe a good fit and which courses to complete for that tracks requirements. Additional details about the certification tracks can also be found in the AAPA Handbook.

Upon confirmation of enrollment, students will be placed on a certification plan based on the chosen track, this will require consistent participation in AAPA programming in order to complete all requirements by the end of the students 8th grade year. 

Students should plan to make a concerted effort to remain consistent throughout their years of study at American Academy. While students may opt to decline participation for specific sessions should conflicts, or other priorities arise, students must complete all required courses with a 90% attendance rate prior to graduation from American Academy in order to receive their final certification.
Additional offerings during summer sessions can assist the student in accomplishing that end, should a temporary session withdrawal become preferential or unavoidable. 

Further details on program requirements can be found in the AAPA Handbook.
