Mission & Vision

We cultivate an appreciation of the arts through an integrated curriculum that promotes innovation, imagination and creativity for all students, empowering them to become future practicing Arts professionals or intelligent consumers of the Arts. We believe that the Arts are an integral part of our lives, therefore we foster a culture of appreciation for the Arts at AC Moore by integrating across the curriculum to promote artistic growth, with the intent that our students leave us with the need and desire to make the Arts an essential part of their daily lives.
