Creative
Students and educators think critically and creatively using a variety of art forms to engage with academic material in unique, unexpected and impactful ways.
Student Focused
Student needs at the core of the residency and adaptations are made throughout in order to reach learners of all abilities. In addition, students are equal partners in the learning experience and their interests and voices guide creative exploration.

Classrooms must include students with and without disabilities, where they are equal learners and peers support academic and social advancement.
Rooted in Authentic Learning
Students will increase arts, academic, and social-emotional knowledge and skills.
