Curriculum

Welcome to Cook Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School! 

Our student enrollment ranges from Pre-K4 through 5th Grade. All of our students learn through rigorous instruction including science through STEM-based instruction and through the infusion and the integration of Fine Arts. Learning takes place all over the building through many different mediums and experiences.



Why Fine Arts?

  • The Fine Arts are fundamental components of all cultures and time periods.

  • The Fine Arts teach us that all we think and feel cannot be reduced to words.

  • The Fine Arts develop a value of perseverance and hard work.

  • The Fine Arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships.

  • The Fine Arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution.

  • The Fine Arts celebrate multiple perspectives.

  • The Fine Arts teach students that small differences can have large effects.

  • The Fine Arts help children learn to say what cannot be said.

  • The Fine Arts help teach students to think through and within the material.

  • There is a strong positive relationship between the Fine Arts and academic success.
