The Academy of Performing Arts is a privately-owned institution which was established by Dan and Christina Roberts for the purpose of bringing together professional, values-centered instructors at affordable prices for students of all levels and ages. The beautiful five-acre campus is nestled in natural wooded surroundings and is located just west of Grandview, Missouri on Blue Ridge Boulevard.

The facilities include three fully-equipped buildings with more than 4,000 square feet of rehearsal and studio space, an outdoor stage for summer camps, and the owners' residence.
