Mission
The mission of AAECS, a model for arts-integrated education, supports all students attaining high academic achievement and artistic expression by enriching their standards-based elementary experience using a palette of arts-infused curriculum, as a foundation for their future growth.
Curriculum
Learning centers, part of our learning approach, are student centered, engaging activities that focus on a set of skills and deepen the students' knowledge. Students work alone, in pairs, or in small groups. Visit our Curriculum page to learn more.
Arts
All students participate in Art, Music, Dance, Theatre, Creative Movement and Library classes. Students have multiple opportunities to perform throughout the school year.
