Learning Through The Arts
We believe that arts education aligns perfectly with our school values. Curiosity and creativity are at the core of visual arts and performance arts. Offering an inclusive environment is important to us and we know that the arts offer a wide variety of entry points into learning. As we work to meet students’ varying needs, the arts will provide additional ways for students to engage with all curriculum outcomes. We look forward to seeing students engaging in creative expression, exploring projects, collaborating, sharing, and playing, allowing their artistic talents to flourish. Rather than following a specialized stream or academy model, we offer arts-centered learning and fine arts instruction to all students. Our dedicated staff is committed to fostering an inclusive community where inquiry, creativity, and collaboration thrive.
