THE RIVER TREE PROMISE:
Fostering Excellence in the Arts and Education Through Collaboration
We believe that the arts and education are inseparable from one another. Art and music. Theater and dance. Literature and design. The arts give voice to the human experience. Nurturing both creativity and critical thought, the arts are a fundamental piece of a holistic education. Yet, in a time of increasingly scarce funding for public schools, arts budgets are among the most frequently cut. Through the creation of genuine partnerships with educators, schools, and other area organizations, River Tree seeks to ensure that budgetary constraints do not limit the ability of children, young adults, and the wider community to find their own means of expression or to develop the skills of analytical thought essential to full participation in a democratic society. |
