Each student will receive an individual ZOOM link to their classes. They will be held in a ‘waiting room’ so that their identities can be confirmed before being admitted to the virtual class. Once all students are present, the class will be locked so no one outside of our program will be able to enter. All class will be monitored by Soul Arts Academy staff.

Yes.

We are dedicated to creating a climate of dignity and respect as well as recruiting a diverse group of faculty, guests, teaching artists, administrators and students.
