What are Students Learning?
The Arts are taught in the kindergarten program and the Grades 1-8 curriculum. Students in all elementary grades learn in, through and about the Arts. The Creative Process and the Critical Analysis Process are embedded in all facets of the arts curriculum as students work to achieve the expectations.
There are four strands in the Elementary Arts Curriculum:
