We are a Project ARTS School, which enables the children
to explore the multifaceted world of art through various programs.
Art classes emphasize a variety of art forms. Children participate
in various contests. Our music program encompasses instrumental and
choral music programs with a performing band and chorus. In music classes,
children learn to read music, play recorders, analyze the components of
music, and engage in music appreciation. By including arts into the
educational process, we provide opportunities for our students to grow
creatively, as well as academically.
