As a neighborhood school, the mission of Arts Academy at Scottsdale is to provide an excellent education for children in our community. We strive to integrate the arts into the curriculum wherever possible and utilize technology as a tool of measurement and instruction. The combination of the arts and technology allows students to express personal abilities and acquire advanced academic competencies.

As a school we encourage parental and community involvement to create life-long learners with excellent character and an understanding of the need to give back to the local and global community. Students are encouraged to try without fear of failure. They are encouraged to strive to do their best and are provided the tools and instruction to do so through “best practices”.

We welcome diversity and embrace differences. We create a culture of both respect and accountability. We provide the foundation that allows each child the ability to dream and the tools necessary for success, living by the motto, “It takes a community to raise a child.”
