Educating students through an arts-integrated curriculum that blends the arts with academic content to promote problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking. Students engage in authentic, motivating learning experiences that connect grade-level standards in both the arts and academics, fostering collaboration and deeper understanding across subjects.

Meeting each student’s needs is our priority. Our arts-integration curriculum supports differentiated instruction, ensuring all students access and are challenged by grade-level work. Using culturally responsive teaching, RioGAFA connects students’ cultures, languages, and life experiences to rigorous content, fostering engagement and higher-level skills.

We embrace cultural diversity, ensuring all students—regardless of race, ability, or socioeconomic status—feel welcomed and safe. RioGAFA fosters culturally inclusive classrooms through respect for students’ cultures, high expectations for all, and a culturally responsive curriculum. Partnering with diverse artists, we help students explore their own culture and learn from one another, building cultural understanding across our community.
