LET'S LEARN TOGETHER
STARS Academy educates all students through deep academic discussions accompanied by an exploration of the arts through flexible, mixed-aged groupings.
WE INSPIRE A LOVE OF LEARNING THROUGH COOPERATION AND CRITICAL THINKING
WE EMPOWER OUR LEARNERS TO EVALUATE, ORGANIZE, AND PRODUCE SOLUTIONS IN A COMPLEX TECHNOLOGICAL AND ARTISTIC WORLD
WE ENGAGE both students and faculty in a process of ongoing intellectual inquiry and community-based involvement.
WE WELCOME students from all backgrounds and experiences to create an inclusive learning community where students, parents, and professionals appreciate and value diversity.
​
WE BELIEVE that infusing the arts into an engaging yet rigorous curriculum provides students with the academic, social, and technical skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in the 21st century.
OUR STUDENTS develop positive self-esteem, empathy, pro-social values, and respect for cultural diversity as they learn in a child-centered environment led by highly-qualified educators.
​
STARS Academy was founded based on the principles of STARS (Shayna Turk's Academy of Rising STARS) children's musical theater program. After nearly two decades of the program's success, STARS Academy was born to mirror similar principles, all while integrating the learning of the performing arts into an rich academic program.
