Arts

Research shows that arts education can lead to cognitive and motivational enhancements in learning. Based on studies of schools with strong arts programs, this approach offers inclusive learning opportunities for different types of learners.

Students’ success in the arts is related to the nature of the instruction, which relies on verbal and nonverbal teaching. The arts tap into students’ visual, kinesthetic, and auditory strengths, engaging them more deeply in learning. Research confirms that students are more motivated to learn through projects that include music, movement, and drama. The International Early Years, Primary, and Middle Years Curriculum implemented at our school include thematic curriculum units that encompass the arts.

Beginning in preschool, all students take Spanish and Mandarin language classes to prepare them with the skills required to successfully engage in a globalized world. These classes often include music and movement. In addition to promoting arts education in our academic subjects, we provide a well-rounded education that includes the arts as an autonomous part of the curriculum. We offer our students music, movement, and visual arts during the school day and in our extended day programs.
