Question 7

What will arts integration look like at school?

Accepted Answer

The Kennedy Center defines arts integration as "an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process, which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both." DBAE defines arts integration in academics as the integration of art forms such as music, visual arts, dance, media arts/film, and theatre into traditional academic subjects such as math, science, and language arts. This approach aims to enhance student learning by providing a more engaging and interactive learning experience.

Question 8

Will DBAE use traditional curriculum?

Accepted Answer

Yes, DBAE has selected the Wit & Wisdom for its English Language Arts curriculum. For mathematics, we will utilize Eureka Math. To support the integration of arts into daily lessons, DBAE will employ the curriculum from The Institute for Arts Integration STEAM Institute. Additionally, for daily intervention and learning acceleration, I-Ready will be utilized.

Question 9

Will there be transportation offered?

Accepted Answer

We will do our best to place stops where families have most demand, but we cannot guarantee a stop in everyone’s neighborhood. We encourage families to coordinate car-pooling in the event that we are unable to place a stop near you.

Question 10

When does school start and what is the daily schedule?

Accepted Answer

The first day of school is planned for August of each year. Check our school calendar. Students have a Monday - Friday bell schedule currently planned for 8:00 AM (first instructional period) to 2:45 PM (dismissal). Wednesdays are half days with students dismissed at 12:30 PM.Please note these are subject to change as we finalize our schedule with the families we serve.

Question 11

Will there be uniforms?

Accepted Answer

DBAE will not require students to wear uniforms. There will be specific expectations for dress that will be enforced to ensure that all students can fully achieve their arts and academic goals. The purpose for our expectations is not to inhibit student expression, but rather to ensure that student learning time is respected and not unduly impacted by those who come to school dressed inappropriately for the work they are required to do. DBAE students will be required to dress in DBAE shirts or in a certain attire for school field trips or performances.
