Mission
Enhancing life and learning for students.
Vision
All students will have opportunities to expand their creative potential and critical life skills.
Our Core Values
As stewards who act with integrity, respect and transparency, our work is guided by:
COMMUNITY – We believe that students should have equitable access to the opportunities that we provide and, through community support, we strive to remove financial barriers that keep them from fully engaging in school life.
CREATIVITY – We believe that the future requires creativity and a commitment to learning and deeper understanding. We aspire to be creative in the work that we do and to inspire creativity in students.
COLLABORATION – We believe in the value of working with others and achieving together what may not be possible alone. Along with our education and community partners, we aspire to bring a collaborative spirit and strategy to all that we do so that students may be more fully served.
COURAGE – We believe that skills are as important as knowledge and that the arts are fundamentally invaluable in creating a whole person. We aspire to be courageous by speaking about their critical importance and to boldly innovate new ways of expanding the impact of our ‘hands-on’ approach to learning.
