The driving belief behind All City Arts College is that every young person has a talent, and it is our job to find it.
Through our creative curriculum, we will cultivate the energy, curiosity and resistance of the young people we teach so that they may succeed in all areas of their lives. We reject the current divide between so-called ‘academic’ and ‘vocational’ subjects and instead see education as a holistic process for students to develop their own unique knowledge, skills and understanding.
The All City Arts College consolidates over thirty years of experience using arts and media education to turn talented but disengaged young peoples’ lives around.
Our ethos is founded on a number of principles, which we have embedded through our years of practice in non-statutory arts and media education that:
- Unlocks individual talents.
- Fosters aspiration and achievement.
- Empowers young people to acknowledge and celebrate their heritage.
- Develops transferable skills for employability such as communication, problem solving, team work, entrepreneurship and leadership.
