Our underlying belief is that all students are naturally expressive; the aim of the arts program is to help students discover and cultivate their individual talents.
GCDS’s vibrant and comprehensive skills-based program in the arts introduces children to the wonders of creation and self-expression. Students’ aesthetic experiences in the performing and visual arts help us to educate the whole person.
