Fine Arts Program Philosophy

In Gwinnett County Public Schools, a system of world-class schools, the fine arts (art, dance, music, and theatre arts) will be an essential and integral part of the instructional program and will be accessible to all students. All students will be expected to demonstrate competence in the production, analysis, and evaluation of at least one art form and have an understanding of the contribution of all art forms to world cultures.

Superior fine arts instruction will be delivered by certified arts teachers in each fine arts curriculum area based on a sequential, comprehensive, quality Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum, employing the latest technologies and the most appropriate materials and equipment. Teachers will engage in continuous improvement of their content knowledge and will utilize quality plus instructional strategies and techniques in the delivery of instruction.

Gwinnett County Public Schools' Fine Arts students participate in numerous local, statewide, regional, national, and international festivals and competitions, and are known for their excellent performance standards. The continued enthusiasm and support of administrators at all levels, community members, parents, and students enable the Gwinnett County Public Schools Fine Arts programs to achieve world-class standards and to remain an essential element in a complete educational program. It is the desire that each Gwinnett County Public Schools student develops his/her artistic and creative potential to the fullest.
