 | The Lab School is a pioneer when it comes to marrying arts and academics. We are the one of the few schools in the country to employ art in all of its many engaging forms to help students manage their learning disabilities and teach rigorous academic material. Our many visual and performing arts classes encourage children and older students to stretch their imaginations and tap into their creativity. Lab’s rich arts curriculum increases attention, builds organization skills and competencies, leads to language enhancement, and bolsters a sense of self-worth…all essential components for academic success.
At the Elementary and Intermediate levels, art is used as a gateway to learning and is an integral part of the Academic Club experience. As students progress through Junior High and High School, they enjoy a wide selection of visual and performing arts options. Here’s a sample:
