Creative Minds
Art Studios
is a place where children
are free to express themselves, develop
critical thinking skills,
and improve on positive character traits.
CMAS curriculum was designed, so a student could enroll in class in Kindergarten and progress all the way through to the high school classes without repeating a theme, problem, or lesson.
That's the real beauty of our curriculum and choice-based strategy. Each piece of artwork will be unique with it's own criteria and learning process.
