TRI is proud to host Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts (TAPA). TAPA is an academically-rigorous, arts-integrated public charter school for students in grades 7-12. TAPA is a community of practice, where culture, the performing arts and an expanded learning time are all fundamental components of a rigorous academic program.
TAPA's Mission: In partnership with parents and the Providence community, TAPA will develop well-rounded, well-educated, Artistic and community leaders who practice service and teamwork while initiating and implementing goals with a focus on the global society.
TAPA's Vision: Students will be taught utilizing a fully-integrated arts curriculum, where the arts are deeply embedded into the core of interdisciplinary learning. Arts integration affirms the indispensability of the arts as a core curriculum subject, and views the arts as a catalyst to learn other subjects. At TAPA, the performing arts (Drama, Dance, Music, Film) will play a major role in helping students address broad curricular themes and achieve robust habits of mind, including imagination, discipline, collaboration, inquiry, divergent problem solving, empathy, and making connections.
As TAPA expands, the master plan calls for the addition of an 18,000 square feet "green" school buidling constructed adjacent to the Theater Annex that is designed to feature the latest in energy-conserving and environmentally-friendly technologies.
