US 1ST Cornerstone Performing Arts Academy is built on the foundation of giving kids the tools they need to adopt a craft while simultaneously creating a safe space for them to actively learn and grow. Our Academy has:

  • A commitment to building bonds that facilitate healthy habits.

  • A variety of individualized, vocational programs to better grow skill sets.

  • A hands-on, innovative mentorship strategy that maintains engagement.

  • A catalogue of field trips for children to learn and explore different art forms.

US 1ST Cornerstone Performing Arts Academy offers vocational education and training so that students can gain practical experience and be able to get started right away in their chosen career field. We prioritize letting them learn at their own pace, ask questions, and make mistakes along the way rather than simply teaching them and giving tests. Class time is increased compared to their external study time in hopes to adequately prepare them for future jobs by exploring actual work opportunities.

Potential Field Trips

We want the students to learn from not only our teachers, but the world around them as well. This is why we will be frequently taking field trips and having guest speakers to expose the kids to more worldly experiences as well as a variety of art forms.
