The arts are an important part of the Arborland curriculum. Beginning at the toddler level, students are encouraged to participate in our numerous events where they can display their many talents. At Arborland, every student is a star.

According to Maria Montessori, the founder of Montessori education, once a person's basic needs are met, that person will look for other things that can enrich his or her life. Aside from education, the arts can further nourish a person's spirit as it helps in the person's development.

Learning to play a musical instrument helps one's concentration and dexterity. Dancing can help develop coordination and creativity. In fact, a student who is also involved in the arts can have a better grasp of academic subjects. The arts can also be viewed as an extension of language. Through them, the child can express their thoughts and feelings as well as they would through language. Cultural education definitely has many advantages.

Despite the current economy, Arborland has continued to advocate the importance of the arts. Without it, a child's education will be incomplete.
