Our Artists and Teachers

We hire professional artists and teachers because we know they will give our students the high-quality instruction, guidance, and encouragement they deserve and need to do well in school and develop into financially stable and civic-minded adults.

Renzi's Teachers

Our academic instructors are certified, experienced teachers, who love what they do. Because we keep our classes small -- no more than six students, Renzi's instructors tutor our students one-on one and focus on their specific needs.   In classes such as Language Arts, Math, Homework, and Reading, Science, Spanish, Vocabulary, and Computers, Renzi students gain cultural enrichment and learn new facts, skills, and good study habits.  Most of all, our teachers encourage Renzi students to excel in school and praise their accomplishments.

Renzi's Artists

In Renzi's art classes, we want our students to learn from our artists to realize, take seriously, and value their ideas and the ways in which they explore and express their creativity.  Renzi's artists do not teach their students as much as guide them in discovering their own creative expression.  They demonstrate their techniques and approaches to their art, offer students insight into artists’ roles in society,  and explain to students what it means to be a working artist.   In Renzi's art classes, our kids discover new ways to express themselves, and find the self confidence they need to achieve their goals. They find out they have something valuable and unique to contribute to their families, communities, and most importantly, themselves.
