Waterside Mission Statement: At the Waterside Children’s Studio School, our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where creativity and artistic expression are integral to the academic and emotional success of every child. Through music, drama, visual arts, film, technology, writing and dance, our rigorous and progressive curriculum will empower ALL of our children to grow academically, creatively and socially. They will acquire the critical thinking, personal integrity and self esteem that go beyond the classroom walls. As a community, we will take pride and ownership of our school and celebrate all of our accomplishments.
