The Philadelphia School of Circus Arts in action.

A Regional Center for Circus Arts Training

The Philadelphia School of Circus Arts (PSCA) operates from Circus Campus, a renovated historic church in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood, serving as the region's leading recreational center for contemporary circus training.

It delivers classes, camps, and workshops in a broad array of disciplines—including aerial silks, static trapeze, lyra, rope, juggling, unicycling, tightwire walking, tumbling, acrobatics, clowning, and plate spinning—for ages 2 through adult, with no prior experience required. Youth programs, summer camps, and after-school sessions culminate in mini-performances or showcases, while the youth troupe and staff produce community shows, including annual events like the Haunted Circus and appearances at local festivals.Participants gain physical strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence, with many advancing to public performances that entertain regional audiences. Reviews highlight welcoming instructors and a supportive environment, while accolades include "Best of Philly" for kids' classes and recognition for fostering accessible skill-building and community engagement.
