MEET THE DIRECTOR

Queenie Chu

Teacher and Director

"In my role as the director of Castle Arts and a fellow educator, my personal mission is to empower Castle Arts to serve as a catalyst for students' artistic development. My goal is to assist students in charting their own unique artistic journeys, whether it leads them to pursue a career in the arts or simply to fuel their personal creative growth.

I take immense pride in our cohesive and supportive team of educators and staff who contribute their teaching to nurture our students' creative abilities. On behalf of the entire Castle Arts Crew, we eagerly anticipate witnessing our students' ongoing growth in the years ahead!"

At Castle Arts we hold strongly to the belief that all our teachers must have a passion in both teaching and in the arts. Our team of teachers have a University and or College degree in the arts with extensive experience teaching children of all ages. All our teachers are either current teachers in the Ontario School Board and/or current practicing artists in their field. We are proud to have to have a team of teachers that can inspire our students' growth and love towards the arts!
