Our Philosophy

Every person has a unique vision to share that enhances the richness of our community. The wide range of creative learning opportunities available at Seven Directions help all students realize their potential artistically, academically and socially. We believe that the arts are a crucial part of the human experience, and that art is the best way for young learners to explore and express their understanding of the world around them. Instruction at 7D emphasizes the development of self-esteem through meaningful self-expression, with social emotional skills being valued as strongly as academics. Art and academics are thoughtfully melded with a genuine respect for each student’s creative spirit and celebration of their uniqueness.
