AOS Academy Charter Schools

Anticipated opening in 2027, subject to charter approval and funding, The Art of Stepping® Academy Charter Schools envisions a world where the boundaries between the arts and sciences fade, merging into a vibrant tapestry of innovation and creative expression. Our goal is to cultivate a community of scholars who excel in their chosen fields while embracing empathy, creativity, and interdisciplinary leadership. These qualities empower our students to navigate and shape the evolving landscape of today’s world with insight and impact.

“The establishment of The AOS Charter School network stems from my deep belief in the transformative power of education, grounded in research and supported by federal programs. By integrating step education and performing arts into our curriculum, I aim to create a space where creativity, discipline, and self-expression drive academic success and personal growth. Through my groundbreaking work in step, I’ve witnessed how this art form fosters confidence, unity, and leadership within our community of color. My mission is to inspire the next generation of leaders, helping them discover their voice, their potential, and their power to shape the future.” 
– Jessica ‘Remo’ Saul, CEO and Founder

School Values: Three(3) Pillars of Success

Our values serve as the foundational principles that shape both our educational environment and community culture. We are dedicated to cultivating a space where every student can thrive, guided by what we define as The Six Pillars of Success:

  1. Creativity: We believe in the transformative power of imagination and originality. Creativity lies at the core of everything we do, from the arts to the sciences. We encourage students to explore new ideas, express themselves freely, and tackle challenges with innovative perspectives.
  2. Innovation: We are dedicated to pushing boundaries and questioning the status quo. Innovation drives progress, and we empower students to develop forward-thinking solutions that have the potential to shape the future and transform the world around them.
  3. Intellectual Curiosity: We foster a passion for lifelong learning. Intellectual curiosity inspires students to ask questions, seek deeper understanding, and engage with the world around them. Our academic culture celebrates inquiry, exploration, and the pursuit of knowledge.
