The mission of the Allegro Charter School of Music is to produce inspired thinkers and creative members of society through the infusion of music into an academically challenging environment.

Allegro is centered on the importance of creativity in preparing students for life in any area. At Allegro, students are inspired and engaged through the study and performance of music. Allegro’s students will be part of the work force until around 2070. With the rate of change in the global marketplace accelerating at rapid pace, it is impossible to know what challenges these students may face ten years into the future, let alone decades. Allegro will prepare students with both a strong academic skillset and the ability to develop original ideas that have value. An emphasis on creativity will be at the core of the program, using music as a medium for developing each student’s creative abilities, and then extending that creativity into other subject areas.
