Our curriculum is aligned with The National Core Arts Standards, a framework that delivers the educational nuance of standards in four artistic processes: Creating, Presenting, Responding and Connecting.

CREATING. Conceiving and developing new ideas and work
PRESENTING. Interpreting and sharing artistic work
RESPONDING. Understanding and evaluating how the arts convey meaning
