Explore. Create. Shine. NVAA offers an exceptional arts education!
Does your child love the arts? What if they could create every day at school? The North Valley Arts Academies, our premiere arts program, provides students an opportunity to shine bright in Dance, Theatre, Music Technology, or Visual Art. Many students from outside of PVSchools boundaries join this exclusive program.
Students learn from our award-winning arts teachers and fully immerse themselves in the creative process through participation in our “school within a school” program. Whether your child is new to the arts or seasoned in their craft, NVAA provides a comprehensive arts education from grades K-12 at Desert Cove Elementary School, Shea Middle School, and Shadow Mountain High School.
If your child is passionate about the arts, look no further. The North Valley Arts Academies at PVSchools offer opportunities for students to hone their craft while gaining skills in collaboration, leadership, problem-solving, and critical thinking through our accelerated arts education during the school day. Due to the specialization and postsecondary readiness provided by NVAA, our graduates have gone on to pursue BFA degrees at top arts programs in the nation.
