OUR PHILOSOPHY

Langley Fine Arts School is a dynamic school community of K-12 learners who value the following:

EXPLORE

• Providing equitable access to the school while expecting a high level of student commitment to learning, to achieving one’s potential, and to attaining high standards in all areas of the curriculum.
• Engaging in the processes of creating, presenting, and responding in the arts; and developing in students a firm foundation in the practices and principles of the individual arts disciplines.
• Exploring a curriculum in all the “multiple intelligences” (verbal/lingual, mathematical/logical, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, natural, and existential).
• Collaborating among the staff in order that the total curriculum is presented in an integrated and cohesive way while still honoring the skill development in the respective disciplines.
• Experiencing in the lower grades a broad array of the arts, and gradually working toward specializing in one of those arts in the upper grades.

CREATE

• Offering an education that includes learning in, through, and about the arts.
• Ensuring that students will be well-prepared and competitive in the arts and their academics.
• Providing a stimulating and aesthetic school in which one is surrounded with exemplary arts examples and experiences.

INSPIRE
