Our Mission
Our Mission, Vision and Belief Statements were drafted as part of our Middle States Accreditation application in 2019. Our Steering Committee, consisting of administration, teachers, staff and parents worked hard to draft statements that supported what we believe about an Arts Academy Elementary Charter School education. These statements were reviewed by all stakeholders and approved in 2021. We are very proud of our shared vision for our students and our mission for our school.
