The Falcon Academy of the Creative Arts is designed to meet the needs of those students who love to draw/paint, sing along with their favorite I-tunes and television theme songs, move to the rhythm of music, ad-lib or portray movie and TV characters, and enjoy using their creativity in projects at school and around the
house. These students are not “couch potatoes”, but rather are active and their minds are always questioning the world around them. The FACA school day is a learning environment where students receive arts instruction from some specialists and very importantly, the qualified staff integrates the arts into the core curriculum. Students use hands-on-activities, cooperative learning, and portfolios to realize their potential and challenge their
skills. The arts will enable the FACA students to reach high levels of academic performance, improve overall school performance, and create a climate conducive to learning.
