SIGN UP!At Studio, Black voices will be heard and valued, uplifted and supported.

We fully support our Black staff, students, families, and all members of our community.
"What happens inside the walls of a classroom at Studio, or even during a Zoom call, goes beyond the surface; it shapes how children see themselves and the world. It’s not about working towards an external goal, but instead discovering who you are and what drives you. It’s about helping children come home to themselves and feel empowered to create the world they want to live in."
—Teacher
