The Audre Lorde Transformative Arts School, or ALTAS, is an innovative school, designed to foster radical imaginations in our students so they can reimagine a more just and humane world. We use the arts not to develop professional artists, but to foster creativity. We foster hands-on project-based learning that works to improve our communities. Our studios, which is what we call our classrooms, are busy spaces filled with dialogue, critical inquiry, and the energy of workshops. At ALTAS, we realize that education is deeply relational practice and we work to foster trust, connection, and meaningful communication skills. Students lives become our curriculum and we build knowledge to make a better world.
