VAPA Academy at Benton
Welcome to this exciting journey as we develop the creative talents of middle school students! This site is designed as an online kiosk of information for students and parents who want to learn more about the programs being designed for Benton Middle School this fall. I encourage you to check back often for the latest updates as our planning develops over the next few weeks and months. The Visual and Performing Arts Academy will incorporate 7 strands: Theatre Arts, Visual Art, Dance, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Creative Writing, and Media Arts.

The Visual and Performing Arts Academy is open to all middle school students who reside in and outside of the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District. If you do not live in the Benton Middle School attendance zone, but are a resident of Norwalk-La Mirada, you will need to complete an Intra-District Permit, available below. If you live within the attendance zone of another school district, you will need to secure an Out of District Permit from your local school district. Students who are new to our school district will also need to complete the district REGISTRATION FORM now available below.

Information on the enrollment process, as well as the exciting programs that will be offered are available on this website. In addition, we plan to host several Student/Parent Information Events to share details of the exciting courses and programs that will be offered. It is my plan to provide each young person with the tools they will need for success in college and their future profession.  A college-preparatory curriculum is essential in middle school to give students a competitive advantage. I look forward to partnering with you as together we provide an enriched learning experience for each and every student.

Looking forward to the journey,
Michelle M. Green
