Who We Are

Arts Integration

Community-Centered

Arts Integration

Educating students through an arts-integration curriculum. The arts will be integrated across academic content to promote problem solving and creativity. Students will learn and construct an understanding of grade-level standards in both the arts and academics.  Arts integration builds greater understanding across content, supports authentic learning experiences that engage and motivate students. This practice fosters creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking and provides learners with connections, concrete experiences, and the ability to make connections. 

Academic Rigor

Community-Centered

Arts Integration

 Meeting the needs of each student is a priority. Our arts integration curriculum naturally allows for differentiated instruction in which learning is accessible and challenging. All students have access to grade-level work. RioGAFA teachers use the culturally responsive teaching approach to teaching. It connects students' cultures, languages, and life experiences with what they learn in school. These connections help students access the rigorous content and develop higher-level academic skills.  

Community-Centered

Community-Centered

Community-Centered

 We embrace cultural diversity and ensure all students, no matter race, ability, or social-economic status feel welcomed and safe. RioGAFA embraces diversity and fosters culturally inclusive classrooms through expressing an interest and being sensitive to students' culture, having high expectations for all students, and using a culturally inclusive curriculum. RioGAFA will partner with a variety of artists that represent our diverse population allowing for students to learn about one’s own culture and about one another's cultures to develop cultural understanding among students.
