HCOS Fine Arts Goals and
Learning Outcomes for Grades K to 9
for Dance
It is our goal, purpose and expectation for students to develop their individual potential in their area of interest. Our students will choose one facet of Fine Art to pursue. This honours the fact that God created all of our students uniquely and allows our students to explore the gifts that God gave them in more depth. We expect that our students will gain broad exposure to all four elements of Fine Arts while diligently pursuing their chosen area of interest.
