About

PS 192 Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts is located at 333 Clinton Street Buffalo, NY. This school is apart of the Buffalo City School District and provides an excellent education for students in grades 5 through 12 in Erie County, New York. There are four main areas of studies taught at this school which are Visual Arts, Music, Dance, and Communication Arts. The school is available for grades 5 through the 12th for the community of Buffalo.

Students are given the opportunity to explore art in the community by visiting local artists in their studios and galleries. Field trips to New York City are also offered to interested students. These trips help the students experience the hub of the art world by visiting museums, galleries, theatre performances, as well as tours of art schools.

The high school academic curriculum involves an in-depth study of Music Theory (levels I, II, and III) and the History of Music. A.P. Music Theory allows selective students to study at advanced levels for college credit.

Applied music takes the form of numerous performance ensembles. Four choirs, three bands, a string ensemble, and a number of smaller student-run groups rehearse daily and perform regularly throughout the region. In addition, small-group instruction is available in all instruments and voice.
