“Kids are attending school because they want to participate in drama class and art class and dance. They are coming to classes on time, and they are excited to be here.”
–Nash Teacher
Fully Engaged
We have seen a significant increase in student engagement since we introduced our new fine and performing arts program. Our students are excited to come to school and attend their classes because they love what they are learning. They are more focused in all of their classes and on time because they are eager to participate in the fun and creative activities that our program provides.
Fine & Performing Arts
Art
Our art program is designed to provide our students with an opportunity to explore their creativity and express themselves through a variety of mediums. Our classes offer students a chance to learn a wide range of skills that cover everything from fiber arts to painting and sculpture.
“We do a lot of fiber arts - working with yarn and sewing. My kids like anything that's tactile, they are really hands on!”
–Ms. Rodden, Art Teacher
Art
At Nash, we believe that students should be at the forefront of their own learning and growth, and this is especially true in our drama program. With the guidance of our experienced drama and art teachers, our students are responsible for driving our productions forward. They take on various roles, including ushers, techs, MCs, lighting designers, and set designers, among others.
“My goal as a teacher is to help kids gain confidence, so they can be more bold, more brave, and take risks. And they're really learning how to do that for themselves. Not just in drama class, but in life.”
–Ms. Kullman, Drama Teacher
Dance
For a long time, we weren't able to offer programs like dance, but over the past few years, we've made it a priority to expand our program offerings to better serve our students. We're thrilled to see that this effort has paid off, and that our students are thriving in the new programs that we've introduced.
“Our dance program is a student favorite. Our kids just love to move!”
–Nash Staff Member
Art Infused Core Classes
In addition to the arts, our school also has a thriving physical education and athletics program. Our girls and boys learn skills for and participate in a variety of sports including; basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer, to name only a few.
“I would like our students to learn as many different sports and physical activities as possible in the hope that they will remain active throughout their lives.”
–Mr. Gut, P.E. Teacher
Productive Struggle
At Nash we believe in the importance of productive struggle, which is the process of encountering and overcoming obstacles in a constructive way. It is about embracing the challenges and setbacks that come with learning and seeing them as opportunities for growth. We want our students to know that it is okay to struggle and that they can persevere through difficult times and achieve their goals.
