CEG Performing Arts Academy is a unique youth development program committed to providing high-quality performing arts education, community entertainment and an appreciation for the cultural diversity in our world.


Our vision is to nurture the spiritual and economic growth of the people of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas by increasing access to cultural, global, vocational, technological and civic learning through the arts.


Our primary goal is to develop and deliver the highest standards of performing arts education, integrating the perspectives of diverse cultures of the world and instilling:


* Confidence
* Collaboration skills
* Creativity
* Conflict resolution skills
* Communication skills
* Citizenship skills


CEG students benefit the most: When they try a variety of classes. While a student may be tempted to focus her/his class schedule in a specific discipline, it is better to acquire a diverse arts background and to become a well-rounded performer and/or technician. A broad understanding of performing and production arts can help artists realize their creative goals. For this reason, we encourage students to enroll in a variety of performing and production arts classes.


Each season over 100 students participate in the many programs of CEG. No Experience is Necessary. That's why we are here to teach them everything they ever wanted to know about the performing arts. They will have fun in a relaxed, enthusiastic atmosphere, learning alongside other students of their age and skill level. Under the direction of professional artists and teachers.
