The Creative Minds RAP specifically works to ensure that our students will achieve the following:
- Refined critical thinking skills that allow students to cultivate and express ideas;
- An appreciation for the nurturing, transformative and communicative power of art;
- High personal standards and the knowledge that excellence in art, design, and idea-development come from pushing for a better solution after an adequate one has already been found;
- A recognition of the value of diverse points of view, experiences, and cultures;
- Improved interpersonal and team-work skills;
- An appreciation for ways of knowing that go beyond verbal expression;
- Problem-solving skills that come from being adaptable, courageous, able to cope with frustration, and learn from failure as part of the creative process.
