Arts Based School
Arts Based Elementary School (ABES) is a public charter school that charges no tuition and is open to everyone.We teach children the basics and beyond through first-hand encounters with dance, music, theatre, and visual arts. ABES' K-5 students will achieve high academic performance. They learn in classes led by creative and caring certified teachers and through arts partnerships with local arts and cultural agencies. ABES provides imaginative learning experiences to nurture student character development, self-esteem, and self-confidence. The school works to advance important values and appreciation of art and beauty, democracy, families, individual freedom, personal responsibility, and building social capital -- a better and more inclusive community.
