YSCP believes in the education of the “whole child.” While core subjects are crucial, the arts are a way for students to develop creatively, physically, and mentally. Weekly offerings of art, music, in all grades share the foundations of: Working together and team building. Creative thinking and problem solving Developing a respectful relationship with peers Building independence and self-confidence Additionally, students are able to take their learning further if they so desire; students in grades 4 through 8 may choose to participate in band and/or choir.
