The Arts Connection

Stevestons Arts Connections core values are education, empowerment, creativity, community, and family. We exemplify these values through our academic, fine arts and extracurricular programs, our personal interactions with the children, our families and our staff, and by our dedication to providing opportunities for all students to discover a creati... ve outlet within a solid school community. We emphasize: Student learning is nourished and encouraged through open-ended projects, discovery opportunities, and inquiry-style instruction that makes the most of each childs innate curiosity. Students make important decisions about the direction of their own learning and discovery. At Renaissance Kids, we listen to our students. Instead of prescribing paths, we believe in presenting options and opportunities that cultivate leadership and choice and help children grow in confidence. Children have multiple languages, or ways they can express themselves. We offer opportunities for exploration in science, social skills, art, music, dance, language, and theatre. We each exist as unique and powerful learners, but we also work together to transform our community and ourselves. We instill a sense of personal responsibility in our children and do our best to introduce them to the wider world. Each child is part of a larger family unit, and Renaissance Kids seeks to nurture the relationships between students and their parents through collaborative communication and involvement.Read More
