Art is an integral part of our program. It provides opportunities for individual, creative expression. We believe the arts are essential to a well-rounded educational experience. Students explore and experience a wide variety of different mediums, techniques, and genres of art over the course of the year. Students are introduced to art appreciation and art history through discussion of some of the world’s great art and artists.
Katie Peterson, incorporates music, literature, history, and science into her lessons, finding these interdisciplinary connections to not only enhance the creative experience, but to cultivate curiosity, observation, and a desire to learn about the world around us.
