WE BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE OF OUR YOUTH AS WE KNOW THEY ARE OUR LEADERS OF TOMORROW

  Click here to listen to SPAC Owners, Jimmy Locust
and Gerrit Paasman, and Leah Kimmet of Horizons
speak about the scholarship program on Greenwich's
WGCH radio station!

Out of the numerous scholarship applicants, SPAC donated 6 full year scholarships to our own student body!

SPAC has donated 4 full year scholarships to Horizons participants, a number that has doubled over the last year!

SPAC is proud to partner up with the Horizons Project,
a
nonprofit organization offering a summer and winter
program for children,
in delivering art education to
the youth of Fairfield County.

Horizons went well beyond matching the 4 SPAC scholarships and sponsored 12 of their own students for a full year scholarship for one class.  THANK YOU!!
