We provide homeschool students access to high quality expeditionary and inquiry-based performing, visual, and creative arts education. Classes are tailored to varying and mixed age groups. Using the tenets of inquiry and project-based learning, students use research to inform their developing performing and visual artistic skills. While learning these new skills, students build deep understandings about themselves as artists and innovators, through participation in hands-on, real-world connections to the foundations of art, creativity, and the world around them.
High quality, experiential art education fosters:
● Confidence, Creativity, Critical thinking, Communication, Collaboration
● Social Emotional Learning
● Increased academic success
● Joy in the classroom and crew-building!
● Development of Lifelong Learners
