Art has been an integral part of the whole-child curriculum at The School in Rose Valley since its founding. Grace Rotzel, SRV’s principal from 1929 to 1967, beautifully expressed the school’s philosophy:
“There are two views of education; one, that a man should be educated to be what he is, and the other, to be what he is not. The progressives took the first view, and therefore adopted the broad definition of art as concerned not only with form, color, and movement in a variety of media, but with the uniqueness of the individual.”
This commitment to individuality lies at the heart of our art program. At SRV, students are encouraged to explore diverse media and techniques, embracing art as a means of self-expression and personal growth. Art at SRV goes beyond traditional concepts of form and color, fostering an environment where each child’s unique perspective and creativity are celebrated.
