Lehigh Valley Charter High School

Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts stands out in the Bethlehem area as a place where students with a passion for the arts can pursue rigorous English and humanities coursework alongside their creative training — its 97th percentile English scores are a real testament to that focus. Math isn't the school's strongest suit, so families should keep that in mind if STEM is a priority, but for students who thrive in a more expressive, arts-integrated environment, this school offers something genuinely different from a traditional high school. The Lehigh Valley itself is a great place to grow up, with a strong arts and cultural scene anchored by venues like the SteelStacks arts campus, making this school feel like a natural extension of the community around it.
