Informational Meeting for the North Charleston Creative Arts Elementary, which is scheduled to open in August.

North Charleston Creative Arts Elementary (NCCAE) will offer high-quality teaching that exceeds the state standards and the district’s core curriculum, while integrating the arts and creative disciplines across all subject areas. The curriculum includes visual arts, music, and drama instruction that applies and reinforces traditional elementary subjects. Hands-on activities will allow students to thrive as facilitators and leaders in a child-centered educational environment. Through a variety of partnerships with local businesses, non-profits, and governmental agencies, NCCAE will offer students countless opportunities—including field trips and lessons taught by arts professionals—designed to connect what they learn in the classroom to the real world. As a partial magnet school, NCCAE will have an attendance zone. Seats are also available for applicants who live outside of this zone but reside in District 4 (including the city of North Charleston) and Charleston County. During the 2011-2012 academic year, the school will open with three Kindergarten and four first grade classes, and it will eventually expand to the fifth grade.
