Jericho Arts Philosophy Statement
The arts develop an aptitude for the value of imagination and ingenuity, encouraging the growth of well-rounded citizens of the world. The Jericho School District is committed to ensuring that every child has an opportunity to create, perform, experience, and learn about the arts in many forms. Through a variety of music and art course offerings, students participate in performance-based tasks designed to promote creativity, enhance problem-solving skills, and cultivate out-of-the box thinking. Study of the arts encourages students to view the world through a variety of lenses while fostering their ability to communicate, collaborate, express ideas and problem solve in the 21st century.
Academic Courage Goal:
The NYS learning standards for the arts are used to guide curriculum and instruction that is sequential and intentional to maximize the learning experience in the four processes: creating, performing/presenting, responding, and connecting. It is our goal to better understand our student’s needs in order to develop courageous opportunities for them to become lifelong learners in the arts with academic, social, and emotional success by establishing a safe environment where all students are valued to reach their potential incorporating high expectations and spirit for personal/collaborative advancement.
