Community for Creativity schools create an ecosystem which embraces a mindset which is student driven, exploration centered, flexible and collaborative.  Each school uses research-based practices focused on the student transfer of knowledge to creatively solve problems.  Program offerings and initiatives within Community for Creativity schools vary by location, and are unique to each campus.  This allows school individualization built on the strengths and unique culture of their community, students, and faculty.  Examples of school initiatives include: 

• Passion projects in student's interest area with the guidance of faculty and industry mentors
• Arts Integration and/or STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) activities
• Installation of school collaboration/ performance spaces
• Exploration of creative careers through career modules and development of student e-portfolios
• Cross-departmental projects and immersive experiences involving guests from community organizations, higher education, and industry
