Arts Infusion

Creativity: We partner rigorous instruction with music, visual arts, theatre, and dance to create highly engaging, challenging and exciting learning experiences that inspire our students to expand their world view.

Curiosity: Arts infusion creates space for student voice and choice. Units of study are created around a problem to solve or a mystery to discover. Our students analyze, make connections, find patterns and work in groups to make decisions and to find creative solutions that combine core and arts standards. Students can choose how they will share their learning and will be celebrated at the classroom, grade, and school-wide level.

Connection: We are a neighborhood school, and we thrive on creating community and connection through the arts. These connections will be supported through both community events and daily classroom life. Arts Start helps us begin our days with joy. Daily morning meetings focus on social-emotional learning through arts experiences, and students learn in a creative, safe environment all day long.
