Vision To provide high quality performing and fine art training to youth who otherwise do not have access or exposure to the arts. Building upon inherent creative strengths in each young person, we seek to provide tools and skills transferable to a professional career in or a life-long love of the arts. High standards of excellence allow the NoDa School of Arts to empower youth to embrace discipline, a strong work ethic, perseverance, and team work. All of this is done in the framework of a Christian environment where students are shown Christ's love and challenged to use their gifts for His glory. ![]() Guiding Values Dignity of all youth God has created them and gifted them with unique talents Strong partnerships with the community Partnerships with non-profits make us stronger Christian Principles Christ's love and Biblical teaching will be demonstrated to our participants who will also be given the opportunity to serve Christ through their artistic expression High expectations of students Students are expected to achieve excellence in the arts Indigenous Leadership Staff should reflect the community of the students we serve Professionalism and excellence in the arts Instructors will conduct classes in a professional manner that pushes students toward excellence Life Skills Confidence, perseverance, discipline are just a few examples of the life skills that arts training help to instill |
