Cultural Arts
Our Cultural Arts Program offers music, art, drama, creative writing, photography, and dance, tools that help develop the mind and body, refine feelings, and thoughts and reflect and represent our customs and values as a society. Cultural arts help to explain the world in which we live through an exploration of creativity. They are multidisciplinary, cross-genre, and are less about the finished product and more about the process.
The arts help us explore our society and ourselves by:
-
Developing artistic talents
-
Teaching core curriculum

Improving test scores

Enhancing cognitive development
-
Improving abstract reasoning skills

Improving spatial-temporal reasoning skills
