Peak Theatre Arts is fully aligned with California's Visual and Performing Arts Standards (VAPA) standards and integrates CASEL's Social Emotional Learning (SEL) outcomes. Our turnkey program qualifies for Prop 28 arts education funding and supporting state goals around equity, engagement and enrichment.

Peak Theatre Arts is a leader in culturally sustaining drama education—meaning our programs celebrate students’ identities, honor their communities, and make space for diverse voices on stage. We go beyond just putting on a show, students write and perform their stories in a joyful, supportive space.

At Peak Theatre Arts, theatre isn’t just about acting. It’s a powerful pathway for building skills kids need to thrive in school and life—even if they never step on a stage again.

Through our process-based approach, students will:

• Strengthen focus and discipline – learning how to practice, prepare, and follow through.

• Sharpen problem-solving skills – thinking on their feet when scenes take an unexpected turn.

• Boost literacy and language development – building vocabulary, comprehension, and expression through scripts and storytelling.

• Enhance physical awareness – improving coordination, body control, and presence (great for athletes, too!).

• Grow cultural understanding – exploring diverse stories and perspectives that expand empathy and worldview.

• Practice leadership – stepping into roles on and off stage, from directing a scene to managing props.

Our goal is for students to walk away not only more confident, but also equipped with the focus, flexibility, and leadership tools that set them up for success in every arena of life.

Yes! Every Peak program concludes with a celebration culmination. This gives students the opportunity to share their growth, creativity, and learning with an audience of peers, family, and community.

Please note: Many of our students are participating in theatre for the first time, so we prioritize the process over the product. By centering on process, students are free to have fun, build confidence and take creative risks. It also ensures that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued regardless of prior experience.

Pricing depends on the program length and format. We work with your budget and help you leverage Prop 28 and other ELOP funding streams. Contact us today to learn about our pricing for 2025-2026 Residencies.

At PEAK Theatre Arts, we use a set of simple, consistent tools that capture both student growth and program quality.

• Attendance Logs Track participation trends and retention, which indicate student engagement and program consistency.

• SEL Reflection Questions Structured reflection prompts aligned with the five CASEL competencies like:

Self-Awareness: “How did I use my voice or body to show how I was feeling today?”

Self-Management: “What strategy helped me stay focused when I felt distracted?”

Social Awareness: “How did I notice and respond to my partner’s ideas?”

• Standards-Based Rubrics Evaluate student progress in the four core processes—Creating, Performing, Responding, and Connecting. Rubrics are adapted by grade band for age-appropriate goals.

• Student Work Samples & Showcases Assess artistic development, collaboration, and the ability to transfer skills from rehearsal into performance or presentation.

• Community & Family Surveys A custom survey designed to align with the California AfterSchool Network’s Quality Standards for Expanded Learning. Their input helps us strengthen program delivery and ensure we’re meeting district and community goals.

Together, these tools provide a full picture of student success—capturing both measurable outcomes (attendance, rubrics) and lived experiences (reflections, surveys).

We recommend a minimum of 7 students per group to ensure engaging and collaborative theatre experience. With Prop 28 funding, schools often have flexibility to serve smaller groups especially if it meets students needs and equity goals. We're happy to work with you to design a program that maximizes your funding and student impact.

If you need to cancel a scheduled class or program, we require at least 10 business days’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 10 days' notice forfeit the 30% deposit, as it secures your program slot and covers planning and operation costs.
