AFP – Arts & Humanities Focus Program

The LPS Arts & Humanities Focus Program (APF or “Arts”) was created in 1998. In the 1990’s Lincoln Public Schools developed Focus Programs to provide students with similar interests the option to learn in a small community of learners. The programs are an extension of student learning in their LPS home high school of choice. There is no additional fee or tuition charged for program participation.

In addition to traditional courses, students at AFP participate in a Humanities course that fosters a collaborative, project-based approach including guest speakers, field trips, and community partnerships with the Lied Center, Ross Theater, and Sheldon Art Gallery.

The program is located in the Bottler’s Building conveniently across the street from Lincoln High School.
