CWS Teaching Style

CWS is committed to the integration of one of the most advanced teaching styles in the world, teaching and learning through fine arts (Painting & Drawing, Dance, Drama, and Music). CWS encourages all CWS schools to make sure all of the subjects are taught through fine arts. Fine arts integration is a method of teaching, not assessment.

CWS programs aim to help students as they learn through dynamic cycles of inquiry, action, and reflection. CWS schools enable and support students as they realize the approaches to learning that works best for them – for both their academic and personal success.  CWS programs aim to help students explore and construct their own personal and cultural identities.
