Our programs are led by experienced, passionate educators and teaching artists with backgrounds in education, music, theatre, and youth development. All faculty have updated clearances and background checks.
We intentionally keep enrollment small to ensure personalized attention. Most classes are capped at 16 students, with instructor support added as needed. This allows for strong student-to-teacher ratios, meaningful feedback, and a safe, supportive learning environment where every child is known.
