    The PVA High School Magnet program offers arts students the opportunity to build their artistic skill while gaining
    real world experience. Located at Annapolis and Broadneck High Schools, this program is designed to engage
    students in focused arts instruction with highly qualified teachers and professional artists to foster aesthetic and
    critical thinking, creative inquiry, and artistic excellence. During extended day instruction, students from all arts
    majors at both PVA schools have the chance to further refine their craft in small group instruction while expanding
    their creative lens through collaboration, community engagement, and multiple performance avenues.
