ARTCADEMY kids programs
OUR MISSION
Artcademy is a club that runs an extracurricular program for children aged 5-7, where kids get to try several different arts and sports, led by passionate Lillian Osborne students. Our goal through this program is to help children find their passions and interests, while making an impact globally.
Our profits will be donated to the WE Charity, in support of providing children in areas of poverty the opportunities to live their dreams and find their passions. That means when you enroll your child into our program, you're helping children in need around the world as well!
