Fairview Elementary School

The Fairview Staff is extremely proud of our efforts to provide opportunities for student success through the Artful Learning Model.  Artful Learning, a national school reform model orchestrated by the Leonard Bernstein Center, was adopted by Fairview Elementary during the 2010-11 academic year.

Through Artful Learning, we aim to nurture the creative talents and academic achievement of all students within our state of the art downtown school.  Students learn best when concepts are introduced and practiced through multiple modalities.  Artful Learning enhances learning by presenting curriculum in highly engaging ways, integrating visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning styles.  Teaching with arts based strategies leads to increased student engagement, motivation, and collaboration within a more stimulating and joyful learning environment.
