Courses and Certificates
It was always the dream of the founders, Jeff Tabler and Dennis Foster, to have a certificated program with defined outcomes in multiple areas of study within the field of Performing Arts. As part of our 20 Year Celebration serving families throughout the Rogue Valley, OCPA is excited to announce our new vision and mission statement as well as our new Certificate of Initial and Advanced Mastery Programs.
We recognize that students from previous camps and classes may wish to receive similar recognition, and thus we are happy to announce that any prior student may reach out to our registrar, Laura, with your request to be appropriately recognized and receive your honor cord and applicable certificate.
