Beliefs
We believe that creative self-expression through the arts, should be a vital element of each child’s
education in light of the profound effects of the arts on the intellectual growth of children.
We believe that the arts have the power to positively impact all areas of a child’s life because of the
unique ability of the arts to capture children’s imaginations, motivating them to strive for excellence,
and to see themselves and the world around them from new perspectives.
We believe that many talented children in the Austin area should be supported in following their
dreams of becoming performers and artists in various creative fields. We believe that many children
are unable to follow their dreams because of socio-economic conditions, lack of support to pursue a
vocation in the arts, and insufficient funding for arts education in Austin.
We believe that through the participation in the arts, children develop discipline, a standard of
excellence, and a belief in themselves that will carry over to all aspects of their lives.
We believe that many physically or educationally at risk children benefit from participating in the arts
because of its positive influence on intellectual, emotional, and physical development.
We believe that helping our children participate in performing and visual arts will increase support
for the arts in Austin and continue to enhance the quality of life in our community.
We believe that the parents and community, along with the ability and attitude of the student, are
intrinsic components of education. We accept the responsibility to provide as appropriate an
education for each child as possible while remaining fiscally responsible.
We believe that our school exists for the children. School should be a place where the school
climate continually affirms the worth of all students and where students can have meaningful
experiences in an environment that is inspirational, challenging, nurturing and drug-free.
