Rooted in Learning. Growing for Life

In 1996, the Pueblo School for Arts and Sciences (PSAS) opened its doors to the Pueblo Community at the Jones Campus. PSAS was founded on the Paideia philosophy, on the premise that the arts would be a major component of the curriculum and as important as core classes. The study of science and engineering is woven throughout the curriculum. All grade levels are encouraged to conduct hands-on science experiments and bring the subject to life. We are preparing students for the next step in their educational journey.

When a student walks through the hallways of the Jones Campus, you can see that art has a very important place within our campus, as you see student work on display. From ceramics to watercolor, to sculpture and photography, all art forms are embraced at this school. We genuinely believe that allowing one to express themselves artistically will enable them to focus better on their core subjects.

Inspiring Minds Through the Arts & Sciences

Art

Pueblo School for Arts and Sciences was founded 22 years ago on the premise that the ARTS would be a major component of the curriculum and just as important as the core academic classes. To this day, when one walks through the hallways of PSAS, one can see that Art has a very important place in this school, with student work on display. We host our own Art Shows throughout the year and participate in other art shows throughout the region. We truly believe that allowing people to express themselves artistically helps them focus better on their core subjects.

Band & Choir

Both our Marching Band and Concert Band programs are celebrated for their accomplishments.

In the past, the Marching Band has earned one 3rd-Place and two 2nd-Place finishes in the Middle School Marching Band category at the Blossom Festival. They have also earned Outstanding Drum Major and Outstanding Drumline twice. At the Festival in the Parks Competition in Denver, they earned 1st Place Marching Band. Several of our band students have also earned spots in the Pueblo All-City Middle School Honor Band.

Science & Engineering

At PSAS, the study of science and engineering is woven throughout the curriculum. All grade levels are encouraged to conduct hands-on science experiments and bring the subject to life. For the past two years, PSAS has been the Southern Colorado Design and Engineering champions at the CSU-Pueblo engineering contest. In the spring of 2017, a brand new “Maker Space” modular on the grounds gives students an even better place to learn how to build, invent, and construct. Taking STEAM education to a whole new level in a classroom designed for hands-on creativity. We are preparing students for the next step in their educational journey.
