 The core focus areas of the Arts program

The Arts program not only helps build art skills and techniques but it also hones certain critical life skills of the participants, including:

Collaboration

With interesting activities such as switching the paintings of one student with the other, students learn how to relate to others and collaborate in a creative process.

To be successful and confident in life, it is essential to learn how to work as a team.

As this school caters to students with special needs and challenges that may include social challenges, this program goes a long way in further developing the social skills of the child and provides them with tools that help them in their everyday lives, outside of the school as well.

Community

As students of all ages work together in the Arts class, this program offers an extensive scope for rousing feelings of amicability and companionship among the participants.

The special needs school offers creative opportunities to its students with the utilization of 'art' as a way to foster empathy and social skills.

Critical thinking and problem-solving

With assignments that require students to figure a way out and solve problems, this program works well to enhance the problem-solving and critical thinking capabilities of the child.

As any students, those with special needs also commit mistakes, and the program offers an understanding leeway for mistakes and errors so as to help the child feel a sense of accomplishment. It's a thrilling experience!
