Our Approach
Arts Integration
At Plessy, we teach the core content areas through the use of an artistic medium that utilizes state standards, tracks student learning with visible indicators, and has measurable outcomes.
By connecting with a student’s imagination, the learning is richer, deeper, and more likely to remain after they leave the classroom. “If I want to make yummy cookies myself, I better remember what I learned in math class about 2/3rds of a cup of sugar!”
Through arts integration, students not only develop fundamental skills and understandings in core subject areas, but they develop creativity, confidence, critical thinking and inference skills.
Plessy is a part of the Louisiana A+ Schools network. Louisiana A+ Schools is a research-based whole school network with a mission of nurturing creativity in every learner through an arts-integrated school network. Learn more by visiting their website at http://www.aplusla.org
