At the crossroads of education, technology, and entertainment lies the School for Creative Careers—an institution that nurtures conscious kids with unlimited potential. Striding confidently with a motto that speaks of “Healing through music and inspiration,” this unique center has been a catalyst for transformative experiences in the lives of countless young minds.
The school was conceived and brought to life by two inspiring figures—Michael Adam Cohen and Stephen Stopper. Each of them, seasoned professionals in the entertainment industry, carries an unwavering belief in the power of inspiration, particularly the kind that derives from music. Their shared vision is to guide students in harmonious living with themselves and others by providing them with immersive and impactful learning experiences within an esthetically pleasing environment.
The School for Creative Careers takes pride in its state-of-the-art recording studios that enrich the learning experience. Here, students receive hands-on training in recorded or live music, post-production, sound reinforcement, sound design for theatre, mobile recording, broadcast, studio design, AV installation, and music production. “We love it when our students (and parents) get to live out their intended purpose, giving them a glimpse of what is possible. Their learning environment is filled with experienced teachers, including celebrity icons and top professionals in their respective fields”, said Cohen.
Central to the ethos of the School for Creative Careers is its Conscious Kids Curriculum created by Ashley Lee, CEO & Founder at Center for Conscious Kids. By infusing learning activities with creativity, the curriculum inspires little minds to cultivate hope, kindness, and mindfulness. But this unique learning approach transcends beyond traditional classroom settings and extends into after-school programs—providing life-changing experiences that encourage mindful, transparent, diverse, living and loving consciously.
Located in San Diego, The School for Creative Careers is a beacon for high-quality media arts. Its inclusive education policy prioritizes critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. This institution extends its reach to San Diego’s youth, the underserved, and adults with developmental disabilities, recognizing that their growth and development have rippling effects on the community.
The school’s mission is to foster a safe environment where everyone’s differences are celebrated, every perspective is valued, and everyone feels safe to express their authentic selves. The aim is to instill a “whole-body wisdom”—an understanding of how people relate to others (interpersonal), themselves (intrapersonal), and social groups.
