The Arts in PGCPS
The Arts are an integral part of a well-rounded education in PGCPS. We believe that engaging in artistic expression fosters creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and emotional development. Our arts program aims to cultivate artistic talent and appreciation in all students.
Arts Disciplines Offered
PGCPS offers programs and instruction in a variety of arts disciplines:
Arts Integration
Arts Integration in PGCPS is an educational approach that weaves the arts into core academic subjects, allowing students to explore and understand concepts through creative expression. This method fosters deeper learning by engaging multiple intelligences and providing diverse pathways to knowledge. Through arts integration, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity, while also gaining a richer appreciation for both the arts and academic content. It encourages hands-on, experiential learning that makes connections across disciplines, ultimately enhancing student engagement and academic achievement.
