Something Exciting is Happening.

 

There's something wonderful happening in Western North Carolina. You've seen the joy that children experience during true learning; it happens every day at ArtSpace.

The vital skills of life are universal. What we learn with excitement and passion stays with us for a lifetime. That's the secret of ArtSpace. Arts-Integrated education naturally harnesses the joy of discovery and creation to give students the language, mathematical and thinking skills for a rich and successful life. Students not only learn at ArtSpace, they learn through doing. Their academic lives are marked with the milestones of their own creation. Each step of the way, children can point to the results of their learning. Abstract concepts leave tangible results at ArtSpace, and that creates exceptional human beings.

Isn't that what education is supposed to do? Isn't that what we've always wanted but rarely achieved?

ArtSpace is located in the beautiful Swannanoa Valley between Asheville and Black Mountain. It serves children in grades K through 8. ArtSpace is proud to be one of the very few state-recognized charter schools with a 10-year charter from the state of North Carolina. As such, there is no tuition cost for ArtSpace. We enjoy many of the financial advantages of public funding, but we're far from business-as-usual.

     
 

What is Arts-Integrated Education?

At ArtSpace Charter School students learn core content subjects (math, language arts, science and social studies) through the arts (dance, drama, music and visual art). Academic skills and concepts are applied and experienced in artistic contexts. Arts Integration allows students to explore their acquired knowledge and skills, while providing teachers the opportunity to authentically assess student learning.
