Arts Based Elementary

I have 2 children enrolled currently at Arts Based Schools — both in elementary. I could not be happier with my choice. As a parent, I love the idea of an art-​incorporated curriculum. The idea is to teach them lessons not only through words, but also visual, audio, and even performance lessons. Dance class is the dance of the molecules. While the current science lesson would be the phases of matter. Plenty of overlap and reinforcement. My kids LOVE it there. They dont notice the lack of a traditional gymnasium. Teachers are all very nice. Tutoring and special assistance is available for kids that need it. And the parent community is very invovled — and non judgy… because most of us are artists. All these reasons are why I have a third child starting there in the fall.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I withdraw my children from The Arts Based School. Both have attended since Kindergarten, my son completed elementary school this year. I was so excited when they added grades 6 – 8, however, we cannot enjoy them since we are leaving the state. This school has it all — caring teachers, teaching to all learning styles, and academic excellence, all while teaching through the arts. The children produce amazing art, in all forms, with each grade level having a production of some kind. A fabulous school that will have your children well rounded, able to socially interact and collaborate, and be ready to take on the world!
