Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Frank Liu Jr. Academy for Music & Arts (FLAMA) aims to create a music and art focused school for the youth of Houston. FLAMA's vision rests on six pillars: technical fluency, creative expression, academic rigor, music & art education, nourishment, and family/community.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To create a music and art focused school for the youth of Houston.

  • FLAMA aims to be a Pre-K through 8th grade open-enrollment charter school. We plan to open in the Fall of 2025 for Pre-K through 1st grade and grow a grade each year thereafter. The primary areas served will be Houston's 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Wards. FLAMA is in the process of obtaining an open-enrollment charter from the State of Texas under the Generation 29 and Generation 30 TEA charter application cycles.

The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
