The Christian School Of Performing Arts 

About Us

The Christian School of Performing Arts (CSPA) was formed in 2002 in Syracuse, New York as a place where children could use their God-given gifts in a safe and wholesome environment. While mastery of skills are both taught and encouraged, a strong emphasis is placed on the development of relationships and personal character.​ 

Our main program consists of Saturday morning classes and additional practices will be required for specific roles. Students are divided into three age groups:

A Group, ages 5-8 years old

B Group, ages 9-12 years old

C Group, ages 13-18 years old

​Students rotate between classes consisting of music, acting, and movement/dance. All students are featured in a weekend of performances at the end of each semester.​

This spring, we will present two shows. My Son Pinocchio JR will feature A Group (ages 5–8) and B Group (ages 9–12). Classes will begin in January, and performances  scheduled for April 17th and 18th. Hans Christian Andersen JR will be performed by our C Group students (ages 13–18), with classes also beginning in January and performances scheduled for May 15th and 16th.

Our Team

Our CSPA team is deeply committed to your children. We believe in the importance of building strong relationships and truly getting to know each child. We are dedicated to their well-being and work to create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive.
