The Conservatory for the Arts is the district's only full arts-integration program where the approach to teaching entails students using various art forms to construct and demonstrate understanding. Students creatively engage in project-based learning where connections between an art form and another subject area are explored to gain greater understanding in both areas. The project's remodel goal is to divide the open plan layout with permanent walls to create dynamic, state-of-the-art spaces fostering a creative environment where students utilize art to enhance their learning experience. The project s second goal is to move or create a more functional area for parent pick up/drop off and entrance to the school that fully embodies the arts-integration theme so that all who enter are immersed in the arts.
