Integrated Arts?

The Integrated Arts is a model designed to offer support, extension, and supplementary experiences in content areas through interdisciplinary arts activities. The Common Core Standards' emphasis on developing depth and rigor in thought and the ability to communicate relevant information with increasing skill provides the necessary impetus for this model. Content will be viewed through many lenses, allowing the entirety of relevant ideas to be processed and applied broadly and with added depth. Work with visual arts, music, drama, literature, writing, technology, and design will be incorporated and collaboration with classroom teachers will be ongoing. As Yeats wrote, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire". The Integrated Arts is an opportunity to light a very purposeful, very directed fire.

sixth grade legacy mural







Collaboration, technical ability, problem-solving, evaluation and revision, personal and collective responsibility; qualities developed and exhibited by our oldest of students as they completed a truly wonderful piece. This mural, a seascape of their own dreaming, will hang in our school as a reminder of the legacy that the class of 2014 leaves behind for us. Good luck, Sixth Graders! Make us proud!
