WHY IS CREATIVE
ARTS IMPORTANT?
​
It engages a students imagination and can include activities such as art, dance, playwriting, cooking, and music. Each activity is open-ended, fostering flexibility of the mind to stimulate the imagination. Careers in each of our focus areas can be lucrative if a student decides to become skilled in it.
​
We offer opportunities to practice and develop our students creativity; and just like any muscle in the human body, their trait will become stronger and feel more natural.
