The mission of the Fine and Performing Arts Department in Atlanta Public Schools consists of a balanced program divided into three distinct parts: all students will have a world class fine arts education in our schools, enrichment experiences in the Atlanta arts community and extension opportunities for learning that ensure a lifetime of involvement in and enjoyment of the arts. 

A caring, creative, and equitable community immersed in rigorous instruction that inspires globally aware arts advocates who will graduate ready for college, career, and life. (2023)
