Mission and Vision
MissionThe purpose of the Multicultural Arts School (MAS) is to honor students' ability to create. We believe that arts education allows for the development of student's abilities through a rigorous curriculum that affirms cultural identity, interconnects knowledge, and makes learning meaningful. We are committed to providing authentic opportunities for students to learn life skills, achieve high academic standards and demonstrate cultural proficiency. It is the combined responsibility of teachers, parents, students, and community members to create a safe and innovative environment. Vision The Multicultural Arts School (MAS) will be a stimulating, exciting and safe school, offering youth a unique range of learning experiences and opportunities for self-expression. Through the arts integrated program we will create an environment of excellence that will prepare our students for college. The richness of art experiences will be ensured through vital partnerships with arts institutions and community artists, providing an arts environment unparalleled in the communities we will serve. MAS will put into practice the ideals of freedom, justice, equality, equity, and human dignity. It will be a place of respect for learners and teachers, and will foster unity and civic engagement among students from the North and South Lawndale communities. MAS educators will cultivate a common culture of respect, appreciation of differences, non-violence, and shared decision-making. Through cultural exploration, students will gain a sensitivity to the experiences of others and will learn to interpret and express historic, scientific and literary concepts through the arts. |
