Visual & Performing Arts

The Classen Experience

Classen School of Advanced Studies High School is nationally recognized for its Visual and Performing Arts Program. Students can focus in one of eight arts areas: Visual Arts, Orchestra, Drama, Piano, Guitar, Dance, Vocal Music, or Band. Each area of study has pathway requirements for graduation that ensure students excel in their chosen major. All eight areas have received top honor and local and national competitions.

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

The Classen Experience

The Diploma Programme (DP) is a curriculum framework designed by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for students in the last two years of high school.

IB students graduating with the IB diploma are able to study at universities all around the world, often with advanced credit. Students report that their involvement with the IB has given them the tools needed to succeed at college. In particular, students comment on their sense of preparedness, self-confidence, research skills and their ability to manage their time. Even more important, they have developed a sense of the world around them and their responsibility to it.

International Baccalaureate Middle School Years Programme

The Classen Experience

The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (MYP) is designed specifically to serve as part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum and to prepare students for the two-year IB Diploma Program. We believe the addition of additional IB coordination resources, implementation of a collaborative framework, and the IB MYP Program in 6th-10th grades at Classen SAS Middle School and Classen SAS High School at Northeast provides vertically-articulated curriculum aligned to IB Diploma Program standards while increasing the use of cross-curricular strategies that focus on improving student's cognitive, affective, and metacognitive skills (ATL in line with IBDP Theory of Knowledge curriculum). Additionally, MYP increases the percentage of students who complete the IB Diploma Program requirements.
