Arts
At PISOTA, students will be steeped in our arts curriculum and get access to arts learning in dance, music, acting, visual arts, or museum studies, every day. Students will select a focus area in dance, music, voice, theatre, visual arts, or museum studies and new media.
We believe that art is a vehicle for positive change, progress, responsible expression, and healing
in communities and spaces where people and societies gather. We aim to instill the same beliefs in our students.
Studying the arts allows students to learn about themselves, our world, and ideas in ways that build onto traditional core subjects, like reading, science, and history.
