4 Pillars of the Arts

Our 4 Pillars of Creative Education consist of:

  • Performing Arts

  • Visual Arts

  • Communicative Arts

  • Culinary Arts

Every quarter, our young scholars embark on a journey of discovery as they explore creativity, self-expression, values and more in their enrichment classes. By introducing our four pillars, scholars freely experiment like painters with a palette and scientists with a theory.

One School of the Arts & Sciences celebrates the arts through a dynamic, in-house programs. Scholars of all ages participate in seasonal performances, concerts, and productions.

Performing Arts

From improvisation classes to introduction to piano and dance, our scholars love dramatizing, presenting, and exploring their passions through the Performing Arts.

Communicative Arts

Finding one’s voice requires courage.  Our Communicative Arts curriculum is designed to draw out that voice through expressions of speech, journalism, creative writing, poetry, television production, Spanish and Chinese.
