About Fei Tian
Fei-tian is a Chinese term for heavenly beings that fly and bring goodness to the world through their song and dance. Fei-tian can also be translated as “fly to Heaven.”
Fei Tian Academy of the Arts is a place where learning and self-improvement go hand-in-hand.
At the center of it all are Falun Dafa’s guiding principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
Falun Dafa, also called Falun Gong, is an ancient spiritual practice in the Buddhist tradition. It combines meditation and gentle exercises with a moral philosophy centered on Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Followers of this faith aspire to live by these principles in their daily lives.
In traditional Chinese culture, the process of perfecting and refining mind and body is called “cultivation.”
On this foundation, students at Fei Tian Academy engage in pre-professional training in classical dance and music. They also have many opportunities to perform and showcase their talents throughout the year. At the same time, students work progressively through elementary and secondary academic curricula, based on rigorous New York State standards. Their studies are further enriched with courses in Chinese language and history.
By engaging in a balanced offering of courses and activities in the supportive and uplifting environment at Fei Tian Academy, students very naturally feel motivated to learn, cultivate virtue, and achieve their potential.
