Education at Out North

Lifelong Learning for All

Out North's programming and initiatives are guided by four essential principles:
Every person deserves access to high quality arts learning experiences.
All art educators should be prepared to include students of all cultures, generations, and abilities in their instruction.
All children, youth, and adults with disabilities should have complete access to our facilities and activities.
All individuals who aspire to careers in the arts should have the opportunity to develop appropriate skills.
Inclusion teaches us that all means all. Everybody. No exceptions. The arts invite people to leave familiar territory, to explore new answers and seek new questions. The arts offer a means to self-expression, communication, and independence. By learning through the arts, students become lifelong learners, experiencing the joy of discovery and exploration, and the value of each other's ideas.
Out North is committed to driving change - changing perceptions and practice - classroom by classroom, community by community, and ultimately society.
