PHILOSOPHY
We BELIEVE that:
- our kids are filled with imagination and inspiration.
- economics and disenfranchisement rob them of equal opportunities for creative expression and personal development.
- access to high quality creative outlets sets them on the path to success, both now and in the future.
Our VISION is H.A.R.M.O.N.Y.
We are HELPING ACHIEVE:
- RESPONSIBLE: Kids and families that show responsibility to their arts learning.
- MOTIVATED: Students that desire to learn an art form.
- OPTIMISTIC: Children that add positively to their environment
- NEIGHBORHOOD: A creative and caring community.
- YOUTH: Large and diverse groups of students that have access to the arts.
Our WORK is CONNECTION:
Students make connections:
TO EACH OTHER
Our instructors build supportive, fun and caring classrooms where students can build relationships that last their whole lives.
TO THEIR FAMILIES:
Arts learning happens at home, too. Adults and children become closer as they strive for excellence together.
TO THEMSELVES:
Our learning community teaches students to appreciate their talents, strengthen their focus, and gain confidence in their creativity.
And TO THE INSTITUTE:
We strive to create strong links to our families – and many stay with us for years and years.
We BELIEVE in the WORK of our VISION, and together with our partner families we are MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
