Welcome Centennial!

šŸ“£ Exciting news! Weā€™re thrilled to welcome 480 students into our program through a new partnership with CENTENNIAL, A School for Expeditionary Learning.

Centennial, an inspiring neighborhood school serving ECE through 5th grade, is built on a mission of exploration, compassion, and a commitment to learning about the šŸŒŽ world.

Our Program

The downsizing of school budgets too often results in the elimination of music programs despite its proven potential to develop childrenā€™s emotional, behavioral, and relational development. Our mission: to bring music back to schools so that all children, despite social or economic status, have access to a high-quality education. Music is integrated into the school day through the skills of exceptional music teachers who are trained to promote diversity and foster parental and community engagement. Our national network serves more than 40,000 children every year in New York, Los Angeles, Denver and Boston. In Colorado, we operate in 9 schools involving a community of 10,000 people including students, families and school staff.
