A Public School Dedicated to Academic and Artistic Excellence

PVPA is a regional public charter school serving 400 students grades 7-12, from over 60 towns throughout Western Massachusetts. We seek to connect the creative process with critical thinking to inspire a love of learning. As a charter school, the work we do informs educational policy at local, state and national levels.

PVPA is a public school and community that prohibits bullying, cyber-bullying, and retaliation against those reporting accurate and credible incidents.

The Bullying Intervention Plan, developed in partnership with the Center for Teacher Education and Research at Westfield State University, is an approach to addressing bullying, cyber-bullying and retaliation.

PVPA is committed to working with students, staff, families, and law enforcement and the community at large to prevent issues of violence and inequity through prevention, intervention, and education.
