Leadership Academy

Leadership Academy

Developing strong leaders is a core value at Nebraska School of Performing Arts. Leadership curriculum is shared through all our classes with monthly leadership themes that students explore, discuss, and practice.

Our Leadership Academy expands on these ideas to take leadership to the next level. Students invited to participate attend regular classes in leadership and take on additional responsibilities at our school such as assisting classes, student teaching, and growing their confidence in career readiness. Students are able to progress through Leadership Academy levels as they grow in their understanding.

Students develop as role models for the entire Nebraska School of Performing Arts community, as well as extending these lessons to other areas of their lives such as future job skills, leadership roles at school, and becoming caring citizens.
