We Know The Business Of Education: As educators, we understand the expense involved in educating each student. It is common that for private and parochial schools, tuition only covers approximately 70% of most annual budgets, thus, leaving schools to rely on donations and fundraisers to balance the budget. We give you just one more way to cut expenses by offering cost effective performing arts programs that are quickly becoming obsolete and non existent in our schools due to lack of funding. Out sourcing this valuable part of a well-rounded education will yield these benefits:
- Guaranteed superb performing arts education at a fraction of the cost of hiring an employee
- Because our instructors are our employees, we assume such cost as liability insurance, workman’s comp insurance, payroll cost, and any additional overhead associated with an employee.
- We add each of our contracted schools as an “additional insured” on our liability policy for the duration of our time at your school or facility.

This helps us to tailor our curriculum to specific age groups so that each student is receiving the maximum benefit of the class.
