WELCOME


Welcome to Ignite Performing Arts Academy!

"Where Passion Fuels Performance."

 

The middle school years, grades 2 through 8, are among the most valuable, vulnerable, and pivotal stages in a student’s life. Strategic academic support, engagement in the performing arts, and the development of strong social-emotional skills are essential for growth. We invite you to choose a school committed to high-quality instruction, meaningful relationships, community connection, and personal development. It is my honor to serve as the founder of Ignite Performing Arts Academy for the 2026–2027 school year.

 

Sincerely,

Gwendolyn Hodge, MBA, MEd.
