School Tour Video
  • Global Arts Plus lays a foundation for creativity and exploration in the arts spanning a child's first classroom experience through middle school.
  • Beginning at our PreK-4 Lower Campus, children embrace their identity as emerging artists with daily music, dance, or visual arts classes.
  • Students join the Upper Campus in grade 5 and smoothly transition to our middle school program in grade 6.
  • Leadership experiences, athletics, and after-school programs support students as they step into new responsibilities and challenging academics.
  • Our artist-in-residence programs enlist diverse voices and talents; students may learn flamenco dancing, Taiko drumming, poetry and more.
  • Students continue their artistic evolution and showcase their learning at Friday Gatherings, a weekly event that builds community amoung our young artists.
  • An active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) plans yearly school-wide events such as plant sales, carnivals and supports our school's artist-in-residence programs.

We offer:

  • PreK (full day)
  • Language Academy
  • Extended Day for Learning (EDL) for grades 2-8
  • Discovery Club for grades PreK-5 (fee-based, off-site)
