The Australian Performing Arts Grammar School (APGS) is a secondary school focussing on academic, creative and performing arts. APGS is based in a state of the art facility at Broadway - Glebe, New South Wales, Australia.

History

The school, formerly known as the Australian International Performing Arts High School (AIPAH), was established in January 2005 with a total of 27 students for the purpose of providing a high quality, arts rich education to talented students of the wider community. In 2012 the school moved to a purpose built facility in Broadway, Glebe in order to reach a wider demographic of students. Along with the new location, the school was renamed to the Australian Performing Arts Grammar School (APGS) to emphasise the renewed shift towards performing arts and academic excellence. Since its inception APGS has enrolled hundreds of like minded students who are passionate about achievement, respect, support and performance.
