Health & Well Being

Our priorities
The health, well-being and safety of our students, instructors, volunteers, staff, and visitors is a core value at Ah Haa School for the Arts and the American Academy of Bookbinding. Our policies, trainings and every day practice reflect this priority. As we learn to create, we learn the tools and resources to work in a productive and collaborative environment based on mutual respect and care.
COVID UPDATE

COVID-19 and its variants are constantly evolving, and we remain mindful of the need to pivot as public health concerns or emergencies occur. Ah Haa School for the Arts and the American Academy of Bookbinding follow Colorado State COVID-19 orders and San Miguel County COVID-19 recommendations.

EQUITY AND INCLUSION

We celebrate the deep and resonating value of diversity that allows people of all experiences and backgrounds to discover, create, share, and thrive. We are committed to sustain a learning environment that values each person’s unique identity, history, and experiences. Through equitable partnerships we strive to be present and participatory with diverse communities that inform who we are and challenge us to become more fully human. We resolve to create access, opportunity, and meaningful change that nurtures diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging.
