The School for the Creative and Performing Arts or SCAPA is an arts-oriented school in Fayette County Public Schools in Lexington, Kentucky which provides students who are especially talented and/or interested in the arts the opportunity to further develop and enhance their abilities. SCAPA consists of grades 4-8 at the middle school level and continues on with the SCAPA program at Lafayette High School (grades 9-12).
