About Us

Founded in 2003, LIPA 4-19 was created with a strong belief that it should be a haven for young people that not only instilled excellent technical skills but also developed a strong sense of togetherness between students. We believe this creates an atmosphere of confidence and belief, while allowing students to have strength to express themselves to the best of their abilities.

We have grown from strength to strength since opening our doors to 100 students with now having over 550 attending each week with over 400 on our waiting list.

There is no other part time performing arts academy that is firmly grounded in education. LIPA 4-19 is linked into the renowned Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), co-founded by Sir Paul McCartney.

Our teaching philosophy is based on inclusion while having fun, while our lessons are tailored to suit each age group. This allows our teachers the flexibility to adapt classes for individual students ensuring that every student is given the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

The focus at LIPA 4-19 is to give every student an opportunity to develop confidence and life skills through the performing arts. We are passionate about nurturing every student on their journey with us and we can provide professional expertise and advice if they wish to pursue a career in the performing arts.
