Mission
FDR seeks to provide students with a learning environment that prioritizes grade level, cross-curricular learning experiences in partnership with renowned art organizations, that strengthen students’ content knowledge, academic skills, and artistic abilities, through a student-centered, creative process.
Vision
Using an art integration approach to teaching and learning, students will develop a love of learning by making deeper connections to academic content while strengthening their attainment of grade level standards and skills, creating critical and creative thinkers who are prepared for the demands of higher education and beyond.
