Fine Arts Philosophy Statement
The Topeka USD 501 School District believes that all students deserve access to the arts as part of a well-rounded education. Education in the arts propels students to work creatively through interdisciplinary study and gain a better understanding of our diverse community. Students develop their critical thinking skills and cultivate visual and aural literacy which leads to a stronger ability to express themselves in a meaningful way. A rigorous fine arts education empowers students to think creatively, critically, and objectively to develop the whole child.
