Arts integration is not about performance. It is about using kid’s innate creativity and desire to express themselves to motivate and deepen learning in all areas. My children have thrived since Art Integration was introduced in this school. Music supports math, visual art supports history, dance supports science, theatre supports social studies. This is child- centered learning in a public school setting! Plus, free enrichment opportunities including summer camp and after school programs like culinary arts, instrument making, dance, Suzuki violin, theater, coding, book writing, and much more! I took one star off only because this is the first year so the teachers are still learning how to best integrate art into their classrooms. And testing season seems to revert back to the status quo. But I expect this to improve as they receive additional training and support, and gain confidence. Great curriculum, active PTA, responsive administration.
If I could give this place negative stars I would! They claim they have a zero tolerance policy however the principal, assistant principals and teachers do not enforce it. I have a second grader and he was beaten up several times at this school and it really affected my childs self esteem. I went up to school several times and had many conferences and the still nothing was done. They even tried to label my child as having emotional problems but of course any child would if they were being ganged up on everyday by much bigger kids and nothing was done about it. I ended up moving my child from this school after only 6 months and we are much happier at the new school. Beware
