Philosophy - Vision - Mission

"Romantic art is the fuel and the spark plug of a man's soul; its task is to set a soul on fire and never let it go out."

 - Ayn Rand, The Romantic Manifesto

 Vision

Here the gates to imagination, intellect, creativity and fantasy are wide open, and the arts are advanced through education, professional artistic expression, and the interaction between them. A&M gives each and every one of its talented students the opportunity to explore and strengthen their artistic sensibilities within the context of a rigorous academic curriculum, in pursuit of scholastic excellence and a boundless immersion in the arts.

Mission

A&M's priority is to serve its students and community with the goal of making a long-lasting artistic and cultural impact by contributing to the rich cultural texture of South Florida through the comingling of education and artistic expression. At A&M, the classroom meets the professional world as all students are given the chance to participate in a rich academic curriculum and professional presentations of the fine arts, deepening knowledge while actively applying it to developing skills.
