Studio and Classroom Environment
Respect ♦ Responsibility ♦ Collaboration ♦ Kindness
We call our studio The Imagination Sanctuary because one feels a sense of creative freedom when entering the prepared environment. It is a place that inspires curiosity, reflective thought, amusement, purpose…
Art Studio offers mixed media, crafts, drawing, collage, mosaic, painting, clay and other fun activities under the direction of trained teachers.
Hands-on projects related to theme are placed throughout the space amidst a backdrop of visual art, literature, science and geography.
The design and learning opportunities change in support of the current theatre production. Weekly themes are planned for the younger child classes.
Individual Achievement
Individual attention is the hallmark of SCT productions.
SCT wants all students to have access to quality programming and opportunities. Therefore, it is important to match children to the classes that are most suitable for them. The staff makes every effort to place students into proper groups depending on current abilities and prior experience.
