"Igniting a passion for the arts in every learner"
What we believe...
- The Arts are a core subject
- The Arts are recognized by the "No Child Left Behind Act" as a designated core subject
- The Arts should be taught to all students
- The Arts should be taught in all grade levels of school
The arts are core. The arts are essential.
They are just not tested in a standardized
manner due to our inability to completely
comprehend how they intersect with humanity.
