ARTS INTEGRATION

Saint Richard Catholic School has a rich tradition in the arts. Our educators are trained to integrate the arts into all aspects of the curriculum and to effectively use the arts to engage all learners. 

The Kennedy Center defines arts integration as an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both. Our teachers utilize this approach to extend learning for all students and to meet the needs of our diverse body of learners. Students reach higher levels of learning and thinking as they apply their knowledge through an art form.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” -Pablo Picasso
