Wells Branch Arts Integration Academy

Granddaughters attend--very pleased with teacher quality and social interactions.

We love this school! As with any school to maximize the experience for children, then it requires active parent involvement (so if you come, please volunteer). Great teachers, supportive administration and staff, and a caring program. I always feel welcome. Dual language programs are offered. The school has an active garden program run by the PTA and community volunteers that welcomes parents in, and it is a great way to be involved. My children love the arts integration and the free after school enrichment. My children have explored interests in chess, tap dance, drums alive, and ukulele club. It's a quality education!

Arts integration is not about performance. It is about using kid's innate creativity and desire to express themselves to motivate and deepen learning in all areas. My children have thrived since Art Integration was introduced in this school. Music supports math, visual art supports history, dance supports science, theatre supports social studies. This is child- centered learning in a public school setting! Plus, free enrichment opportunities including summer camp and after school programs like culinary arts, instrument making, dance, Suzuki violin, theater, coding, book writing, and much more! I took one star off only because this is the first year so the teachers are still learning how to best integrate art into their classrooms. And testing season seems to revert back to the status quo. But I expect this to improve as they receive additional training and support, and gain confidence. Great curriculum, active PTA, responsive administration.
