The Regional Center for the Arts is a part-time, public interdistrict magnet high school for Fairfield County students interested in the performing arts. RCA promotes voluntary integration by encouraging collaboration and cooperation among socioeconomic and ethnically diverse school districts.

 

Currently, 200 high school students in grades 9-12 from Bridgeport, Fairfield, Monroe, New Canaan, Norwalk, Newtown, Redding, Region 9, Ridgefield, Shelton, Stamford, Stratford, Trumbull, Weston Westport, and Wilton school districts attend. RCA’s student body reflects the racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of Greater Bridgeport. Students who feel a passion for performance, with or without professional training, are welcome to apply to the program.
