Prospective families are warmly invited to arrange to have a tour of our campus. We like all families to fill out our Prospective Student Questionnaire before booking a tour. As an independent school, we have the benefits of small class sizes, nurturing environments and academic challenge, but what sets us a part? At ArtsCalibre Academy, staff and students consistently bring their best as they work collaboratively to inspire an atmosphere of creativity, self-discipline, integrity and dedication. In all, there’s a lot to love.Īs a part of our admissions process we would like to meet you and your child and see what you are looking for in a school. Small classes, personal attention, a rich interface between faculty and families, and on it goes. The preschool and elementary programs are divided between two locations, giving each a sense of identity and, through proximity to the Cedar Hill Recreation facilities, an impressive range of resources, especially for a school of this size. The success that ArtsCalibre has had in the years since it was founded is certainly testament to that. It’s not for everyone, perhaps, though for many students it’s an important means of engaging with the curricular content. Rather than reducing and isolating the arts, they’ve decided to bring them forward.
Which is the thinking that ArtsCalibre brings to the delivery of the curriculum. As such, they are central to the way we understand the thoughts, ideas and identities of others. The arts-music, fine art, dance-are central to the way we express our thoughts, ideas, and our identities. They were communicating about hunting, or so it seems, and they did it through art. When the people, all those thousands of years ago, wanted to express themselves to others on the walls of the caves at Lascaux, they painted pictures and (presumably) told stories about them.
But the division between those and the arts isn’t perhaps as clear as some might think.
We like the three Rs, to be sure, and they’re important. Too often when a public school board seeks to trim costs they look to arts programming.
