Providing youth a fully immersive arts education experience
The JAMS 100 is our after-school and summer intensive program. It offers a wide range of arts and cultural activities, including music, dance, creative writing, vocal training, film, visual arts, and drama. These activities allow students in grades 4th-12th to explore their interests and talents. In addition to fostering creativity, they also help students build confidence and self-esteem.
