About Us
TheARThaus was established in 2011 out of our love for children and passion for art. We offer art courses for children and adults specially designed to meet their needs. We provide possibilities for creation and promote conditions for appreciation. At TheARTthaus, students are encouraged to express themselves and develop new habits and ways of looking at things from diverse perspectives. Students can explore, think out of the box and broaden their horizons. We have a strong team of committed & experienced art educators and practicing artists who ensure quality teaching, sharing, and learning take place. Since its inception, and to God the glory, TheARThaus has trained over one thousand students from over 20 countries. Over the years, many TheARThaus students have been successfully accepted into SOTA and Art colleges/universities worldwide.
Our Mission
TheARThaus' mission is to encourage the growth and development of creative, free-thinking individuals. We believe that all children are gifted in their own unique way, and with reliance on God’s wisdom, we teach and nurture our students to bring out their uniqueness. We are deeply passionate about implementing a quality art education that not only delivers art knowledge and skills but also promotes international-mindedness through awareness and understanding of cultural art, as well as develops important personal character. To this end, we provide safe, quality process-based programs to nurture the children holistically. Through art, we create a space where children and adults can freely discover, explore and express their creativity in a stress-free and cozy environment.

Core Values
EMPOWERMENT
TheARThaus should equip each child to act on their own accord. In enabling children to conduct themselves autonomously, we send the message that we trust their decisions will benefit themselves and the studio community.
INTEGRITY
TheARThaus seeks to provide opportunities for children to test and develop their integrity by engaging them in conversation about their decisions and leading by example.
RESPONSIBILITY
TheARThaus wishes to impart to our children that they alone are responsible for their actions and that those actions directly affect their personal experience and studio community. Each child must learn to weigh their decisions against this responsibility. Our children should acknowledge the opportunities provided by their parents, their community, and TheARThaus.
ENGAGEMENT
TheARThaus values the merit of effort and the satisfaction of hard work. In a creative environment, we allow for many different types of being, learning, and doing. Therefore, we ask that our children engage in the full range of studio activities.
EMPATHY
TheARThaus seeks to help our children develop a caring and respectful attitude toward others. We do this in part by treating each child with respect and understanding. Greater empathy leads to a deeper connection with others and a larger sense of place in the world..
SAFE-SPACE
TheARThaus seeks to provide a safe place for children to develop as creative individuals, a process that often takes courage. Creativity is the transcendence of traditions towards the formation of the new. We promote a safe space in creative development by being consistent, kind, compassionate, and strong. TheARThaus maintains a no-tolerance policy towards hate. It is through a safe and stable foundation that children can become excellent.
