The Studio schoolhouse is built on middle school campuses for kids grades 6-8. The facility is a gift to Arizona school districts and will be used for added classroom space, after-school programs, and is available for weekend use as well.
In conjunction with school districts and the appropriate agencies, it's our hope that sustainability goes beyond the structure and continues in the after-school programs.
There are seven designated areas in The Studio schoolhouse.
- The Amphitheater: A unique indoor/outdoor stage and performance area
- The Cafe: A fully functional kitchen
- The Production Room: A computer lab
- The Lounge: A classroom and general gathering area
- The Director’s Chair: A designated area for administrators
- The Library: A traditional library including electronic books and computers
- The Health and Wellness Center: First aid, health, wellness and nutrition
Each area and room in The Studio is sponsored and made possible by community businesses.
EXPRESSIONS.
The Expressions program is designed as an interactive learning environment with a concentration on creative expression and the arts community. In addition to bilingual tutors, program administrators, and mentors from the recently-retired senior community, Expressions program will also:
- Allow students to fully explore their creativity
- Guide student through career explorations
- Boost self confidence with interactive learning
- Environmental education
- Performances, productions, and presentations are encouraged
- Engaging group activities
- Healthy food, drinks, and snacks provided
- Teach healthy, nutritious eating habits
It's our goal for school districts to implement an Expressions program on their campuses.
