This is Us - Arts Integration

New Hope Elementary is truly a special place where we believe in Nurturing High Expectations in every aspect of our school culture. This motto extends beyond words—it's a guiding principle that shapes everything we do. From our administration and staff to our students, we are all held accountable to uphold these high standards. We firmly believe that, as Sam Walton wisely said, "High expectations are the key to everything." At New Hope, we not only strive to meet these expectations, but we also cultivate a mindset of excellence that empowers everyone to give their very best, every day.

At New Hope, we are proud to embrace Arts Integration across all content areas. We understand that every child is an artist, and we actively foster their creativity through a blend of disciplines. Our dedicated teachers—both in content areas and homerooms—work collaboratively to design dynamic, engaging lessons that integrate theatre, visual arts, music, movement, and even technology throughout the school day. By incorporating fine arts standards alongside Georgia’s Standards of Excellence, we provide students with a unique, multifaceted learning experience that enhances both their academic and artistic development.

This approach has proven to be a game-changer for our students. By expressing their learning through the arts, whether it be through dance, tableaus, music, movement, or creating poems to music, our students are not only mastering content but are also developing a deeper understanding of it. Our students’ academic growth reflects the success of this innovative method, as they are able to demonstrate their knowledge in diverse, creative ways. At New Hope, we believe the integration of arts into education doesn’t just make learning more enjoyable—it makes it more effective!
