Mission Statement
To recognize the God-given talents of urban youth and to pursue excellence in the arts.

Purpose
The NoDa School of Arts provides high quality performance and fine art training to urban youth who otherwise would not have access to the arts. We build upon inherent creative strengths found in each student, provide youth with tools and skills transferable to a professional career in or life-long love of the arts, and empower youth to embrace discipline, high standards of excellence, and perseverance. All of this is done in a Christian environment, where students are shown Christ’s love and challenged to use their gifts for His glory.

Vision
Through a pursuit of excellence in the arts, students will embody strong life skills, such as, confidence, perseverance, self-discipline, a love for learning, focus, and team work.
