Inclusivity Statement
At Star Performance Academy, we believe that every child deserves access to meaningful artistic experiences in spaces that are inclusive, affirming, and safe. Our mission is rooted in the belief that creativity flourishes when all children—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, or cultural background—feel seen, heard, and valued.
As an arts organization working closely with young people, we recognize our responsibility not only to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve, but also to actively dismantle barriers to participation and representation. We are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of lived experiences and perspectives, and to cultivating an environment where all staff, teachers, and collaborators model empathy, equity, and respect.
