It is with great sadness we announce the closure of the Contra Costa School of Performing Arts
at the end of the 24-25 school year. We have poured our hearts and souls into this
beautiful artistic inclusive program. Unfortunately, due to a structural deficit as a result of facility costs
and declining enrollment, we will no longer be able to operate. We will continue to
support our students and families through this year and
hope the arts continue to hold a special place in this community's heart.

A COMMUNITY THAT CELEBRATES YOUR INDIVIDUALITY AND ARTS!

Mission & Vision

The mission of Contra Costa School of Performing Arts is to provide a distinguished, pre-professional experience in performing arts within a college and career preparatory setting. We believe in fostering a culture of excellence with the core values of rigor, relevance, resilience and relationships.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We will be an organization that actively works against all structures and systems that marginalize, harm, and oppress.

Arts Concentrations Through Project Based Learning

Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge. The project is focused on student learning goals, including standards-based content and skills such as critical thinking/problem solving, collaboration, and self-management. 

Regular Performances

With 5 arts concentrations, we have performances on a very regular basis.  Check our ticket website for the latest information, dates, and times!
