OUR GOALS #1 Happy Faces! #2 Motivate students to strive to do their best in all endeavors #3 Quality instruction and convenience for families The enthusiasm of teachers, students and parents have made the past 31 years of music, dance and drama great fun! The quality of our instruction has prepared many of our students for acceptance and scholarships to outstanding colleges and universities leading to professional careers. Our performing companies have entertained for local community events and organizations, and internationally, representing Friendship Ambassadors Foundation. Many of our students have continued their enjoyment of the arts as a hobby and some as a means to contribute to the community by sharing their talents as volunteers in churches and youth organizations. An introduction to the arts can develop self‐expression, self‐
confidence, and a great appreciation for the work involved in becoming a performer. We accept the enjoyable responsibility of developing the future artists and the audiences who support them.
