The Philosophy of Point Loma Arts Academy

Our Mission

Point Loma Arts Academy is founded in the belief that the arts provide a window to the soul. Our emphasis is on stimulating imagination and creative freedom within a community of children, teens, and adults. By valuing the creative process over the product, we hope to develop a reverence for, and delight in, all creation.

As educator Maria Montessori stated, "Play is the work of children." Point Loma Arts Academy offers a unique approach to art by nurturing and encouraging art-making based on the joy of play. We recognize the artistic ability inherent in everyone. We believe that as the child grows with his/her artistic experiences, he/she will gain an intellectual understanding of the ideas and techniques presented.
