FINE ARTS PROGRAM POLICY

It is the desire of the Board of School Trustees to stress the full development of the individual student and to this end the Board fully supports and encourages a comprehensive fine arts education for all children during the elementary years.  The Board encourages each elementary school to develop a balanced fine arts program (including drama, dance, music and visual arts) that may include curricular instruction and co-curricular experiences.  At the secondary level the Board encourages schools to provide the widest selection possible of arts courses and to fully integrate arts programs into the school. All schools are encouraged to provide quality learning experiences in the arts for all students.
