Conservatory Lab Charter School empowers a diverse range of children as scholars, artists, and leaders through a unique and rigorous academic and music education. It enriches the larger community through performance, service, and collaboration. As a laboratory school, Conservatory Lab Charter School develops and disseminates innovative educational approaches that will positively impact children in other schools and programs. At Conservatory Lab, school leaders and faculty believe in the power of music and learning to transform the lives of students and their families. At the core of the school’s pioneering curriculum is the hybrid of two proven and exemplary programs: El Sistema and Expeditionary Learning. Both programs emphasize the experience of breaking through barriers in the pursuit of excellence – creating a culture and habit of perseverance. Taken together, these two programs motivate and nurture students to become dedicated scholars, compassionate leaders, and skilled musicians.
The Arts Schools Network is pleased to recognize the achievements of this stellar school and congratulates Conservatory Lab Charter School for its highest quality instruction in arts education.
