Mission and Vision

Our mission is to provide high quality, innovative performing and visual arts instruction that is designed to meet the unique needs of artistically gifted and talented students. It is our vision that students participating in this dynamic, autonomous, and student-centered model will graduate with the exemplary academic foundation necessary for success in higher education and future careers in the fine arts.

The Visual and Performing Arts Magnet program offers what can be the most exciting educational experience students may ever have! We believe the arts are vital to a rich and rewarding life, and together we will strive to develop the artistic talents and abilities. Dr. Phillips High School is the ideal location for Orange County’s only high school level Visual and Performing Arts Magnet. Amidst numerous performance, digital and creative-based companies, the VPA Magnet enjoys opportunities not afforded to most high schools. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Florida, Hard Rock Live and charitable organizations such as the Rotary Club of Dr. Phillips provide support and performance opportunities. The Magnet traditionally encourages regionally and nationally known artists to volunteer at the school to mentor and perform directly with students.
