The Art Institute of Houston values are:
Teamwork - To reach common goals by working together, sharing information, and building on each other's strengths.
Service - Service is anticipating the unexpected, providing courteous, timely, skilled assistance with attention to detail and the commitment to follow through on students, faculty, staff and constituents' needs.
Integrity - A personal commitment by every person to conduct themselves with honor, trust, respect, ethics and honesty while working towards the common goals.
Commitment - Giving a 100% effort to achieve success toward common goals.
Our classroom often mimics what you'll find on the job - Our curriculum at The Art Institute is carefully scrutinized and developed by industry leaders and prominent employers who tell us what skills are needed in the workplace. This means that your education is relevant, practical, and hands-on. In fact, the classroom often mimics what you'll find on the job. Deadlines, pitching ideas in front of the class, and working in teams helps you flex those creative muscles. Many of our faculty are also working outside of the classroom so you'll learn what's happening out there...in here.
We are designed to encourage your success - Even our career services are designed to encourage your success. From helping you obtain part-time work while you are attending school to actively supporting soon-to-be graduates' job search, faculty and staff are committed to ensuring that each and every student receive the support he or she needs.
