Fine Arts
An effective education in the fine arts helps students to see what they look at, hear what they listen to, and feel what they touch.
-E.Eisner
At the core of Pine Lake Preparatory's charter, established in 2006, is that Fine Arts play a critical role in the growth of a child. Middle and Upper School students choose from the following Fine Art disciplines:
- Band
- Dance
- Orchestra
- Theatre
- Visual Arts
Upper School students are encouraged to choose one Fine Art discipline to follow for their four years, to gain a broader experience in their chosen areas.
Lower School students have one class of instruction each week in Music and Art, and there are opportunities for music enrichment after school.
From PLP's Charter:
The Arts
The school’s focus on daily art instruction rests on the theory of Multiple Intelligences as well as classical education theories which maintain that fine arts are central to character development. Fine arts’ training access the recesses of every one of the multiple intelligences and provides a needed medium for students adept in spatial, musical, and kinesthetic intelligences.
