FULL-TIME and HALF-DAY CURRICULUMS
Full-Time Academic and Fine Arts Curriculum
ASPVA is honored to work collaboratively with Texas Tech University to offer an accredited curriculum to
the students of ASPVA. The Texas Tech University Independent School District (TTUISD) offers customized
educational solutions allowing schools such as ASPVA to offer a college preparatory academic curriculum
with an emphasis on the Fine Arts. TTUISD currently serves 77,887 students around the world, and their
success rate is to be commended. The average GPA among their full-time students is 3.23. The average
SAT composite score of 1641 and the ACT composite score of 24 are both above the state and national
average.
Any student admitted must have strong learning skills, maturity and self -discipline. TTUISD is a Texas
Education Agency (TEA) accredited independent school district. Credits from any accredited school may
transfer into ASPVA and TTUISD. This allows credits from TTUISD to transfer out to any other TEA
accredited school. TTUISD will evaluate each student to determine if all credits are eligible for transfer
into TTUISD. There may be some difficulty in non-accredited home schooling credits fully transferring into
TTUISD, but this will not be known until the student is submitted for evaluation. TTUISD does offer
Credits by Examination (CBE) for courses where the student believes he or she has mastered the
subject, but TTUISD does not allow a direct transfer of credits into TTUISD. CBE’s must be completed in a
60 day window once the student has applied for this option.
All students graduating from ASPVA and TTUISD must take the TAKS test before being able to graduate.
At some point, if the student chooses to continue his or her education at the college level, it is highly
recommended they take the SAT and/or the ACT examination. ASPVA will help guide the student to
suitable course preparation options.
There will be a dual diploma issued. One will be issued by TTUISD for the academic accomplishments and
a second will be issued by ASPVA for Fine Arts accomplishments. The TTUISD diploma is honored by
colleges and universities worldwide should the student desire to pursue a college education, which is
what we at ASPVA recommend.
ASPVA is a school of choice, and is committed to placing students in our program that is considered the
best fit for each individual. Our focus is on students who wish to pursue academic and artistic success,
and we are not equipped to support all learning differences. We ask that you inform us of any special
needs prior to enrolling in ASPVA or TTUISD courses.
Half-Day Fine Arts Program
ASPVA also offers a half-day curriculum which offers the same pre-college fine arts classes available to
6th-12th grade students in our full-time program. We currently offer classes in theater, voice, dance and
visual arts. Students will participate in 3 hour class sessions per day Monday – Friday from 12:30 – 3:30
pm. The ASPVA calendar applies, and students will have 175 instructional days per school year.
Auditions are required and tuition is $3,500 per semester.
