Music

We learn a lot of things about Music at Virginia Park...

We sing - in tune, melodies and harmonies, traditional music, world music, new music!

We play instruments - Ukulele! Recorder! Rhythm and Orff!

We listen to music - old and new, and learn about the composers, history and origins.

We become musicians - by understanding the components of music and their functions.

We experience - through games, technology, in class, on field trips, in rehearsal and performance.

Come and join us...you just might discover your inner musician!

Drama

Lights, Camera, Action!

Here at Virginia Park School we firmly believe that drama inspires creativity through dramatic play. All students have the good fortune of exploring the drama curriculum in a designated drama space, as well as classrooms and on our professionally lit stage. Drama is taught weekly and is also integrated throughout all curricular areas on a regular basis. Our program includes a variety of puppets, props and costumes that students use to express characters, ideas, moods and stories. Students have the opportunity to perform in class, at assemblies and during concerts. Staff work cooperatively to write unique scripts based on the current school year theme for the winter production. All four art disciplines are showcased in this performance which is collaboration between students, parents and staff. You will find drama everywhere here at Virginia Park. That’s a wrap!

Dance

Movement is one of the most fundamental forms of expression and we love to grow creatively and share together in our dance classes at Virginia Park!

The foundation of our program is Creative Dance which provides a common platform and allows students to further explore movement through other styles including: Musical Theatre, Folk Dance, Jazz Dance, Ball Dance and Hip Hop. Integration of classroom themes and units as well as our School Wide Theme brings meaning to the children's learning and adds to the overall dance experience!

Welcome

Virginia Park is a K-6 school offering Arts Core programming in an inclusive, community-orientated environment. We offer drama, music, dance and visual arts instruction to all our students as well as integrated arts instruction as part of the programming for all our subject areas. We believe experiences in the arts provide opportunities for students to develop their competencies, explore who they are and deepen their understanding of the world they live in.

This school year our theme is “Our Fantastic World”. We want all our students to develop a sense of wonder about our world and have the skills, attitudes and knowledge to go out and change it for the better. An Arts Core education encourages students to develop a respect for cultural, individual and aesthetic diversity and gives them the problem-solving and critical thinking skills to be successful in their futures.

We are excited to work alongside your children helping them grow through their challenges and develop positive and meaningful relationships.

We always welcome feedback and any questions you may have.
