Arts Alive in the District School Board of Niagara

“The arts are a way of knowing that provides ways of perceiving, interpreting, organizing, and questioning various aspects of our world through exploration and experimentation.” The Ontario Elementary Arts Curriculum

“Art is the signature of civilizations.” Beverly Sills

“The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist.” Eric Gill

At the DSBN we provide experiences and instruction in the Arts which are integral to the personal and academic development of our students. The Arts prepare children to be active, critical, and contributing citizens in their communities.
