Great Aspirations

The graduates of the Chester Upland School of the Arts will attend the finest colleges, universities and conservatories in the world.  They will become accomplished performers, scholars, professionals and politicians. Some of our graduates will return to Chester, helping to build a healthy, educated, and powerful constituency.

All of our graduates will carry with them, and teach others, the lessons that they have learned with us: that education is essential to success, that those with power and resources must help those less fortunate, and that we are all responsible for creating a just society.
