Since 1998, Metropolitan School of the Arts has been training young pianists, dancers and artists, bringing the thrill of exploring the arts to children of all ages. A highly trained, professional staff joins together in planning curriculum that provides high quality instruction, stimulating the imagination and creative ability of young people. The INTEGRATED ARTS program combines dance and art carrying concepts from one class into the next, reinforcing ideas and through a variety of methods and mediums. Children learn to become aware of artistic forms while developing their own skills and love for the arts. The needs of the individual are of foremost importance at Metropolitan School of the Arts and teachers strive to develop the talents and confidence of each student. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school and on Saturdays. All programs are based on 30 weeks, working towards an end of year recital and art show. Students may enter a program at any time during the year and fees will be adjusted accordingly. For young students, visual art and dance classes are combined automatically and for older students, a discount is given when a student registers for both dance and visual art. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, and on Saturdays.
