Our Mission
-
To engage young people with arts based programs.
-
To connect their creativity with critical thinking.
-
To stimulate their personal growth and academic achievement.
-
To make their learning experiences more meaningful.
The Educational Arts Team believes in the power of the arts to help young people realize their academic success, increase their self esteem and create a cision of a positive future.
We believe all young people are capable of developing into creative, productive and valuable individuals both comfortable and confident in academic and social settings.
​
All young people should have the opportunity to think, create, reflect, and most of all, be heard within a community of engaged learners.
​
The core of our literacy work centers on speaking and listening, reading, asking questions and writing. Through highly interactive theater based strategies, students learn from novels and short stories to access meaning and create their own verbal and written responses.
