Our Values
Creativity and Innovation are Important
Our team are constantly being innovative and engaged in the theatre, arts and education industry; from consultancy to performing and directing. This creativity is brought to all those we work with, encouraging students to be innovative in all areas of life.
The Arts Should be Accessible
All of our services are designed to be accessible to everyone with mixed abilities and needs, whether it’s after school clubs, classes, adult workshops, courses or professional training.
Community is Important
A Mind Apart is a community of teachers and students that care for one another and understand what it is to celebrate individuals in a diverse world. We value our parents, students and customers, listening to what they have to say and creating a wider family in the communities we work in.
My son has been involved with A Mind Apart for over a year now and all I can say are positive and wonderful things about the people and the program. My son has learning and behaviour needs, and yet they opened up their program to him, making a place safe for him to learn, explore and be creative. A Mind Apart has given him a safe place to use his mind and stretch his imagination in a healthy and active way. He is now more comfortable talking to others and uses things he has learned in his creative play at home. As for the staff, there isn’t enough good to be said. The staff is knowledgeable and quite wonderful. They have gotten to know my son and welcomed him as he is, with his difficulties. They have been patient and kind, loving and great teachers. This is a great program and any child involved would come away with the knowledge that their thoughts and ideas really matter. I value this program highly and think any child would be blessed for taking part in any of their programs.
