Our Philosophy

APA is committed to providing students with an education in performing arts while establishing discipline and self-esteem. We offer every student the opportunity to perform in both a professional and recreational environment while showcasing the performing arts throughout our community.


Our Mission

The success of education depends upon the cooperation between teacher, student, and parent. Regardless of why our students are enrolled, be it for poise, health, enjoyment, a creative outlet, or the pursuit of a career, only a solid training program will bring the proper results.

It is our goal at APA to help each student develop discipline of the mind and body, build self-esteem, and help define each student’s individual character.

With the proper training and strong curriculum, our students will form a love for the art of dance and theater and build confidence that will be rewarding throughout their lives. 

Abernethy Performing Arts is family-owned and operated right here in Oregon City, OR. Since our company opened in 2007, we’ve treated every customer like they are a part of our family. Other companies may offer similar services, but our services make you feel right at home because we truly care about all of our students.
