ALBA All students are taught to know and use art as a means of personal expression. ALBA, consider that the instruction in Fine Arts prepares students to become risk takers and think more creatively and analytically. We believe that students who study the arts achieve more academically.
Our goal is to provide instruction in the fine arts and creative writing that emphasizes the contributions of Latinos to these forms of expression. Our Visual Arts program is built around state and national standards for arts education and design with sensitivity to cultural values and traditions. Students in grades K4-fifth grades participate in art classes twice a week and learn a variety of art forms and techniques.
- ALBA school is associated with many community agencies to support a strong connection to the arts and to extend the influence of artistic learning as a valuable part of a complete educational program. To learn more about our community partners, click on the links below.
