Fine Arts

Our Vision

The vision of the AOE community is to develop the confidence that excellence is assured when we exemplify creativity, passion, respect, and self discipline. AOE is committed to educating all students to become compassionate, inspirational, artistic, and academically prepared participants of the global society.

OUR MISSION

The Academy of Excellence mission is to provide an arts enriched learning environment merging aesthetic and academic content to enhance student achievement and to encourage arts related careers and lifelong arts appreciation.  We believe in the theory of multiple intelligences and that a person whose greatest gifts lie in the area of musical or visual-spatial intelligence is equally smart as a person who has great verbal or mathematical-logical intelligence.  We know that our society is enriched by people from all walks of life and career preferences.  The arts provide an excellent venue in which to promote innovative and critical thinking.  By integrating the arts into the core curriculum, we are training our students to be the kind of creative problem-solvers that the business world is now seeking.  The ability to make connections between disciplines and to apply a solution in one area to a problem in another is a skill that needs to be nurtured and encouraged in all learners.  Both students who are academically and artistically inclined flourish in such an environment.
