About Our Program
Art Integration Education’s curriculum is based on a vetted award-winning legacy program our Founder established while working as a Lead Teach the Teacher and Fine Arts Program Director with the Castro Valley Unified School District. Trials on the new and improved version were conducted with the Castro Valley Library in Castro Valley, CA., with great success. Our curriculum meets California state standards, includes classical and contemporary mainstream artists, incorporates measurement outcomes, and accommodates multiple learning styles. In addition, we provide leadership opportunities for fourth and fifth grade students with desktop publishing, journalism, editorials, interviewing, and photo journalism.
