FROM Our Executive Director

JAI HINSON

Many great philosophers have long felt and indicated that, to sustain a world undoubtedly includes preparing our youth to acquire knowledge from the past and apply wisdom for the future. At ARTZ 4 Life Academy, Inc., we feel one of the most important tasks we can embark upon is the responsibility of molding the minds of our youth and preparing them to provide leadership and success for our future. As stated by Socrates, the Greek Philosopher, "Education is a kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel," that is why we strive to ignite the spark in the desire of our youth to fill their vessel through artistic creativity and knowledge.

We take pride in educating our youth to grow spiritually, mentally, physically, socially and esoterically. We've come to an age where knowledge is traveling through a super express highway. This information age presents opportunities and challenges.

ARTZ 4 Life's developmental philosophies recognizes the speed of change in innovation as a pre requisite to operating in our new global society. In addition to artistic and cultural infusion, we inspire STEM development and understanding the latest trends in disruptive technology. It is important to familiarize our children with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and the arts to help them think critically and express themselves creatively in all aspects.

At ARTZ 4 Life, that is our mission, to ignite the flame for learning, embrace diversity and develop the skills to be resilient as they chart their course to reach new horizons and become successful in all their endeavors. As we enter our 26th year of providing services to our communities, we thank all those who have had a hand in helping to sustain our existence and make the dreams of our children come true and as the quote states "The children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way!"
