III The Vision
The 5 years we spent in our
previous music and literacy center
in Allapattah gave us an up close
look at the uniQue needs of the
community. This summer we plan
on taking everything we learned
and opening a campus that will
take a holistic approach
to systematically addressing
those needs.
Our new campus will be a state -of -the art, multipurpose creative space
that will allow students to delve into our Arts, Technology, and Health &
Wellness programming, while holding academics in high regard, with all
students earning a 'C' or below in a core subject reQuired to participate
in no -cost tutoring.
This one -of -a -kind space in
Miami -Dade County, will
empower local youth to
engage in positive
self-expression, develop
essential life skills, and
become thriving future
leaders in our community.
