Mission + Vision

The mission of The Chester Fund for Education and the Arts is to provide children at Chester Upland School of the Arts with a world-class education:  one that combines academic rigor with artistic creativity; encourages personal responsibility; and addresses the intellectual, emotional, and social needs of each child.

Ultimately, CUSA students will become highly educated professionals who will return to repair their city.  CUSA’s vision is to prepare Chester children to use their creative and intellectual powers to become enlightened advocates for a better world.
