Our Philosophy
Many very bright and talented students have not found success in school. The
Renaissance School for Arts and Sciences provides a unique educational
opportunity for school kids like this. Their access to success can be unlocked
by changing how they learn, not what they learn.
Our teaching method blends academic and creative arts subjects.
Addressing analytical subjects creatively and creative subjects analytically
stimulates both sides of the brain simultaneously. Students who respond
to this approach gain a greater understanding of the subject matter.
Their new-found interest in learning instills confidence and nurtures
self esteem. It truly is a renaissance for these students.
A Curriculum that Inspires . . .
Our curriculum covers all the necessary subjects for California accredited
schools. The students receive instruction in the core subjects and art daily.
But we go beyond the expected.
We practice, reinforce and enhance the basic
reading, writing and mathematic skills as we study art, science,
literature and history in a “one room school-house” setting. Studying
in this environment lends itself to include character development
as well. Students must learn to manage their time and resources
and work together as a community to accomplish their goals.
And everyone participates in the creative arts activities. Be it
song, dance, theater or visual art, everyone has the opportunity
to express himself or herself and shine. At the Renaissance School
we don't just turn out good students. We graduate great people. |
