Students will write and illustrate their own books! We will study authors and illustrators of classic children's literature to see what makes them so loved.

OTHER FEES (non-refundable):
Registration Fee $25.00 per student or $50.00 per family
Art Supply and Art Show Fee $45.00 per semester
(1st semester due by 1st class, 2nd semester due by Nov. 1st)
Tuition is due on the 1st of each month. A $10.00 late fee will be assessed for tuition received after the 10th of the month. Tuition amounts are based on the number of classes in the school year not the number of classes in the month. Tuition has already been prorated to include holidays so your tuition is the same regardless of the number of classes in any given month. Tuition can be paid by the year or by the month, but it is understood that classes are for the entire school year. If for some reason your child needs to withdraw we require a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice. Tuition is not prorated for classes missed. |

The facts are that arts education...
1) makes a tremendous impact on the developmental growth of every child and has been proven to help level the "learning field" across socio-economic boundaries
(Involvement in the Arts and Success in Secondary School, James S. Catterall, The UCLA Imagination Project, Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, UCLA, Americans for the Arts Monograph, January 1998)
2) has a measurable impact on at-risk youth in deterring delinquent behavior and truancy problems while also increasing overall academic performance among those youth engaged in afterschool and summer arts programs targeted toward delinquency prevention
(YouthARTS Development Project, 1996, U.S. Department of Justice, National Endowment for the Arts, and Americans for the Arts)
Businesses understand that arts education...
builds a school climate of high expectation, discipline, and academic rigor that attracts businesses relocating to your community
strengthens student problem-solving and critical thinking skills, adding to overall academic achievement and school success
helps students develop a sense of craftsmanship, quality task performance, and goal-setting—skills needed to succeed in the classroom and beyond
can help troubled youth, providing an alternative to destructive behavior and another way for students to approach learning
provides another opportunity for parental, community, and business involvement with schools, including arts and humanities organizations
helps all students develop more appreciation and understanding of the world around them
helps students develop a positive work ethic and pride in a job well done
