    Performing Arts Education
    Across the Disciplines

    Students explore how to utilize the arts in their daily practice by learning differentiated subject matter through multi-modal mediums.  Students have an in-depth investigation and hands-on exploration of visual arts, music, theater and performative arts, spoken word, drama and creative writing, song, kinesthetic learning, poetry, and craft and see them applied to different study areas benefitting intrinsic and extrinsic values.
