The Australian Performing Arts Grammar School (abbreviated as APGS) is an independent co-educational specialist secondary day school that specialises in creative and performing arts, located in Broadway, Glebe, an inner-city suburb of Sydney, 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.
