Mission

Dike School of the Arts challenges its scholars to become self-motivated, independent, and lifelong learners through an arts-infused curriculum. Dike draws children from across the city who are multi-talented in the arts. Students are taught by professionals in the arts community who are known both locally and nationally. Teachers use student data for their instruction, balancing the need for whole-group, small-group and individualized lessons.

I think this school helps children find out what they want to do in the future and helps children be occupied. I do recommend this school to other children also. It is a lot of discipline though.
