"Students who have had the opportunity to grow and thrive in an environment that supports curiosity, discovery, and creative expression have more self-confidence. They are more self-aware. This may be the most important gift we can give them in this complex and ever-changing world."

—Dr. Lisa Ecklund-Flores, CSSMA Co- Founder & Former Executive Director
