Academics
We believe that students learn best when the curriculum is presented in innovative and engaging ways that are personalized to student needs and interests. Our entire campus strives to support the highest standard in academic performance in addition to excellence in the arts.
Students have the opportunity to pursue academic excellence through:
Small Class Sizes
Research-Based Innovations
College Prep Classes
Field Experiences
No longer can we say that creativity, innovation, and meaningful learning cannot exist in schools today.
Instead, schools must be brave enough to look beyond traditional approaches (which yield very little result) for approaches like Arts Integration and STEAM that have a proven track record of working.
Here's Why
Student Buy-In
Students become active participants in their learning when the arts are intentionally integrated.
This in turn, provides an opportunity for students to own the learning and have a vested interest in their own success.
Critical Thinking Skills
They develop the skills to work through problem-solving and to innovate new solutions.
This builds grit and perseverance capacities in all learners.
Empowerment of Teachers and Students
Instructors become facilitators of creative learning and are empowered in their own professional growth.
Teachers feel fulfilled and able to provide a hands-on learning environment for their students.
Provides Connective Learning
Arts integration builds greater understanding across disciplines, supporting authentic experiences that engage and motivate learners.
This practice provides multiple modes of learning and understanding, while also fostering imagination, creativity and personal interpretation of ideas and topics.
We're proud to use Kennedy Center's learning platform that allows our staff to authentically integrate the Arts into our core curriculum.

Literacy Program
Our student literacy program shows that we have the highest circulation of library books, as reading is a large part of the Caldwell Library experience.
Performances
We offer a wide range of opportunities to perform for large audiences and allow our students to learn confidence in front of the public and skills to be an audience member and respect those in front of them.
