Overview
This program provides a comprehensive general education curriculum across all core academic subjects, with a focus on Fine & Performing Arts as an enriching complement to the standard coursework. Arts teachers in Fine & Performing Arts schools work with students and other classroom teachers to provide intensive and integrated instruction in the arts. Students are exposed to various arts opportunities and environments, and have the opportunity to learn and grow in multiple art forms: dance, drama, media arts, music, and/or visual arts.
Technology Program schools thoughtfully integrate technology and digital media throughout the curriculum to ensure that students develop the skills and habits of mind that will enable them to be successful in whatever endeavors they wish to pursue. This includes enabling students to use technology and digital media to demonstrate creative thinking and construct knowledge; communicate and work collaboratively; gather, evaluate and use information; conduct research, manage projects, and solve problems, practice legal and ethical behaviors while online; and understand technology concepts, systems, and operations.
