LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts
Amsterdam Avenue (Between 64th & 65th Street)  

Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts enjoys an international reputation as the first and foremost high school dedicated to nurturing students gifted in the arts.

The LaGuardia Arts heritage dates back to 1936, when Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia established a school to serve as a haven for students gifted in the arts. The present LaGuardia Arts was created by the consolidation of two illustrious schools: The High School of Music and Art and The School of Performing Arts (the "Fame" school).

In 1984, the school moved to the state-of-the-art building at Lincoln Center that was designed especially for them and provides world-class facilities, including: a 1,150-seat concert hall; a 450-seat theater; a 150-seat black-box theater; dance and instrumental studios; a recording studio; an art gallery; and science and computer laboratories.
