We are an arts-based, hands-on and creative high school.
Our mission is to inspire students, their families, and our community to engage in thoughtful and sensitive practices that allow us to reimagine the future together — developing not only academic skills, but also self-expression, communication, hands-on creativity, respect for diversity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.
Why Choose Us

Creative education
Discussing art theories and concepts is awesome, but creative careers also demand hands-on skills. This is why we merge regular courses with Art + Design practices in painting, drawing, graphic design, fashion design, media arts, portfolio preparation and other elective options from our art studio.
Our Mission
Because of industrial educational systems, people are being taught out of their creative capacities. Our Mission is to inspire into sensitive practices that allows us to reimagine the future together – developing academic skills but also self-expression, communication, hands-on creativity, respect for diversity, critical thinking and emotional intelligence
Our Vision
The future will not be for those who only memorize and take notes – but for those who make the rules, break the patterns and trust their feelings. We want to be a school that allows students to live in a respectful, artistic and creative environment where they are not afraid to be themselves, to express their thoughts and to master their talents.
Advantages
Several research studies agree that a school enviroment may be frustrating and even threatening for many students. This is not the kind of experience we want for our learning community. Instead, we think of arts, school, future, dialogue, poetry, innovation, dreams, sensitivity, laughter and feelings as part of the same exciting thing, life.
Every student is encouraged to reach their full academic potential, be able to develop critical thinking skills, take risks, become independent and improve in self-esteem.
