Their level of education ranges from the undergraduate to the doctoral level, and most faculty have additional professional experience in their field.[1] Student bodyEnrollment in AVPA remains open to Culver City High School students and other CCUSD students enrolled in the district. Each department requires an audition, interview, and/or student portfolio review for admission.[1] AlumniAccording to its website, AVPA has sent alumni to a diverse range of post-secondary institutions. Many students have continued their studies at conservatories and art schools such as Art Center College of Design, Cal Arts, Art Institute, Otis College, Academy of Art University, and the Los Angeles Film School. Other alumni have attended schools outside of California, including Boston College, Boston University, Duke University, New York University, Vassar College, Princeton University, Sarah Lawrence College, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and the University of Pennsylvania.
