What We Teach

The arts enable students to explore, expand and enrich their view of life. Students begin to see these connections when they express their own ideas and incorporate skills in their work. Suffern Central School District's comprehensive art education program enables students to understand individual, social, cultural and environmental dimensions of their world. Through authentic hands-on creative art explorations, Art Education at Suffern CSD offers the opportunity for all students to...

• become creative problem solvers through independent and collaborative processes

• appreciate and become immersed in various historical periods of art

• incorporate the elements of arts and principles of design

• observe and analyze

• develop resilience while practicing self expression

• and begin to understand the process of learning, as the most integral part of an education
