The art program is provided by the American Academy of Fine Art.
Creative Arts is an exciting and fun adventure crafted especially for our youngest artists in grades K-5. This program is not just a class but a vibrant journey where students will dive hands-on into diverse artistic styles, mediums, and techniques. From the sheer joy of swirling watercolors to the tactile delight of layering acrylics, kids will experiment on paper and canvas, bringing their wildest imaginations to life.
Through personalized instruction from our experienced art teachers, we aim to make each class vivid and stimulating. We're committed to igniting a lasting enthusiasm for the arts within each student. This well-crafted and imaginative program will bring our young artists a meaningful and delightful experience.
