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. 

 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.
