The Professional Performing Arts School, colloquially known as PPAS, is a public middle and high school specializing in the performing arts, located in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. [4]

PPAS maintains professional partnerships with several nearby professional organizations, including the School of American Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, The National Chorale, Rosie’s Kids and Waterwell

History

PPAS was created in 1990 to meet the needs of two groups of students: those who wanted to pursue professional work in the arts as they earned a junior/senior high school diploma, and those who wanted to study the arts as an avocation. [5]
