CREATIVITY IS YOU
At Play Full Ground, we believe that everyone has the capacity to be an artist. Creativity is not defined by technical skill—it is expressed through curiosity, resourcefulness, and openness.
​
Through hands-on projects, collaboration, and reflective practice, students cultivate the qualities that make creativity a living part of their daily experience.
​
By developing these qualities, students learn to adapt, collaborate, and think critically while connecting with themselves and others.
Play Full Ground offers a model of creative education rooted in experimentation, social engagement, and collaboration, empowering students to use creativity to understand themselves, navigate complex challenges, and contribute to a more connected and compassionate world.
Wellbeing and Support
At Play Full Ground, learning is a creative act—and so is caring for ourselves and one another. We believe that growth happens not only through ideas and projects, but through connection, reflection, and compassion.
​
To support this, students and families have access to guidance from Dionne Ybarra, Associate Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Wahine Project, who offers a free consultation to help students navigate challenges and connect with community resources .​
