Exploring new opportunities through arts and culture
Arts and culture education empowers students to be healthy global learners through instruction in theatre, art, dance, and music. In Sioux City Community Schools, the District’s fine arts curriculum deepens students’ appreciation for the world around them.
At schools such as Hunt A+ Arts Elementary School, arts and culture is infused into the daily curriculum for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The emphasis on arts and culture boosts students’ critical thinking skills. Studies have shown exposure to arts and culture promotes increased empathy and tolerance in students of all ages.
In middle and high school, arts and culture curriculum is an important part of classroom instruction and extracurricular activities. From art and theatre to band and show choir, Sioux City Community Schools maintains a strong focus on fine arts.
