Faculty
The Chandler School of Fine Arts seeks to hire qualified, experienced professionals with a passion for teaching. Our instructors maintain a cooperative spirit among their peers that results in idea sharing, professional development, and personal encouragement.
Realizing that it is important for the student and teacher to have a close working relationship, parents and students have teacher options as they are available. Parents and students may request a specific teacher by noting it on their registration form or discussing it privately with the Coordinator. Questions or issues can almost always be resolved by simply talking with the Coordinator. In the extremely rare occasion that further mediation is required, the Director will decide what is best for the student and what is best for the school. However, realizing that each teacher develops an individual educational plan for each student—most of which the student is unaware; that is why he or she is the student—"teacher hopping" will be strongly discouraged.
The Chandler School of Fine Arts also seeks to train young teachers. Under the supervision and tutelage of an experienced master teacher, young teachers can develop their skills working with real students in a real teaching environment.
