Story Title
Music is an integral part of humanity and is therefore an essential part of education. It serves as a vehicle for enjoyment and personal expression through which cultural heritage is passed on to each generation. Each student will have opportunities to perform, create, investigate, and connect music of many cultures, styles, and historical periods.
The Prince WIlliam County Visual Arts Program will educate students to become lifelong learners who will develop an awareness and appreciation of art as a universal expression of humanity. The program encourages students to become risk takers, creative problem solvers and producers while developing aesthetic and critical thinking skills which are applied in all disciplines. We expect our students to undertake a life adventure of seeing, thinking, feeling, and reacting to the visual arts in order to create for themselves a richness for life.
