John Paul II Merit Fund for Performing Arts

Inspired by our patron Saint John Paul the Great, who was himself a theater performer, this merit scholarship allows us to attract top-level talent into our acting program. JPCatholic actively seeks students who are passionate about the opportunity to study our classical acting curriculum, which is infused with Christian humanism and Theology of the Body. This fund enables us to enroll students who embrace our deeply Catholic approach and the opportunity to pursue beauty through performance in stage productions, musicals, and films. JPCatholic seeks $100k to support this life-changing opportunity.

JPCatholic’s Acting program is dedicated to the training of exceptional actors who are prepared to use their skills to impact culture for Christ. Our students receive well-rounded formation in performing techniques, voice, speech, movement, character development, and the business of acting. Students hone their skills through frequent theater productions in our Escondido community, along with heavy collaboration with our film students.
