artspace has been offering a tuition-free public school education to kindergarten through 8th graders in 2000 are spacers over 400 students with two classes at each grade level Welcome To Earth Day welcome to artspace the backbone of what we do here is not only Community but it's in its what are Charter is based on Mission and harder and arts integration doesn't mean that you're I'll have to be a great artist or have some sort of special skill or neck for dancing music what it means if we know that the art speak to human on a very personal level we know our cinegration is the greatest social justice equalizer dinner Madara students killed background experience to Passion the Arts are going to find a way to reach him and so that's what we do as Charter School integrated curriculum centered around tool and Performing Arts utilizing an experiential approach we believe in a family-centered approach and community service in order to nurture responsible citizenship certainly the standard course of study for North Carolina that is what we start with that's alright that's our foundation that's all in what know what a wait what are we teaching what is in the standard course of study for all of North Carolina but the Arts integration that's the that's the way we view the curriculum that's the way the students were able to demonstrate what they can do and what they know one of the things that I really appreciate about Arts integration is the it affords students the opportunity to learn in the ways that I likes to learn when I was their age so the opportunity to not just memorize some facts and Circle A B C or D on a piece of paper but too do something with that information to create something to be creative and to be celebrated for what I may dance drama Visual Arts music once a week at 8 attend an arts class daily as an elective class with the opportunity to develop their skills in a specific art form of their choice each quarter our space also has a full-time education and Technology teacher routine has been cycle through all of the art forms grades K through 6 until we reach the upper grades were they start to choose an elective that focuses more on one particular artforum butts experienced through the Arts were able to collaborate with the teachers lot more on their content and how to find those connections to the art collaboration is a huge part of our process as where's that we go through when we're planning our lessons when we're creating projects and it is just like such a poor part of who we are at our space every month we meet with hole art projects find what we're doing in the classroom so it completely integrated and the students love to Pella and what their what they did in their Arts time and how it's related to a male if they think it's almost magical I know but this is really wonderful we're currently working on the medieval fair 6th grade Medieval Fair we've been doing this now for several years this is a total collaboration between staff and students and the students are able to demonstrate their understanding through writing true art true dance to the song and through drama because we know students learn in different ways we know students Express them their learning in different ways and so by creating a project with Arts integration that covers the whole Spectrum able to allow a student to find their strength and their knowledge the way they're able to and that is is just one thing that makes artspace very unique and very special leave the parts and make alive Taylor name in their normal class studies so if they're talking about science to people or Borealis one sample it's a beautiful thing but even more amazing thing when they understand and they remember because they put it into the deaths or because they put it into visual art because there's a song a wonderful song on you some sort of Industry man dramatization to bring it forth and if that's what makes it stick that train schools who want to adopt the Arts integration model as their approach to teaching artspace has access to the resources the organization as well as the teachers in the A+ schools network network that is ever growing throughout the Connelly as well as internationally and it is the group of professionals that train teachers in arts integration as well as collaboration and Rich the assessment multiple Pathways in learning helps the teachers build creative and inventive lesson planning that not only grows their students as artist but as whole children into the structure at artspace in a really cool way we are given time as teachers to drop everything talk about what we're doing in our classes bounce ideas off of each other even in the room that we were placed in was done with an eye towards giving us a chance to hop into each other's rooms have those quick little conversation but can move our teaching forward I tell you the staff are space these are a group of creative committed people who just are willing to go for it and they're always focused on the students and they're always focused on doing better and doing what they do better the collaboration we have teachers is it's just amazing isn't just about academics and arts space we work hard to build a true Community to help our students citizens early on in our history we created the four pillars at the foundation of our community leadership and service and that really supports a building and that's what those 4 things to do for us at artspace leadership effort service by utilizing those four pillars in our projects and our daily classroom Community we're really reinforcing to the studio what values we hold at our school and what values We Believe are really important for human beings and for our school Community to do for 2 years now artspace started back in 2008 when my son came to school art space is experienced with all the teacher continuous cough with yard music in particular definitely our space force a huge contributor in shaping my son's personality beautiful view of the world is critical thinking and peace ability to appreciate the Arts really functions well with ROTC program what we know is that hands on intern active education not only helps also than 60 but students with disabilities as well so with our general education teachers and exceptional children's teacher working hand-in-hand it makes it a really effective house kits succeed here I've really seen a lot of students to succeed they seem happier there more invested because they are participating in ways that they may not have opportunities to at other schools with classes and multiple intelligences such as dance Pottery ukulele and various arts and crafts dissipate in cold after school some of our clubs include Brit Girls on the Run bows and no place for hate Art Space Music Classics such as The Lion King The Little Mermaid and others like PD Eastman go Dog go artspace has an active student council and takes part in an intramural sports league with area Charter and private schools there are so many examples of ways and times that we've seen students who not succeeded in other areas who come to our school having really experienced frustration with traditional ways of demonstrating knowledge and then they come to artspace and they interact River Arts integrated projects and it's like it's literally like they've been woken up like your eyes that open and they breathe a sigh of relief and they're awake and they achieved success and they experience success once a student experience the success they want
