The Academy’s philosophy is to:

•Use the arts to enhance the standard academic curriculum

•Maintain high academic standards

•Expand creative expression and self-confidence by working in a disciplined yet open arts environment

•Develop entry level skills in a specific arts discipline

•Encourage personal artistic development by participating in regular school and community performances

•Identify and encourage gifted and talented students

•Develop maturity, self-esteem, and appreciation for beauty in a complex society
