INCLINE ELEMENTARY UPDATE:

IES is excited to announce the launch of a dedicated Art Program!  

Through grants funded by Incline Education Fund, this interdisciplinary program will teach students about art concepts, allow them to study famous artists and their techniques, and delve into real-world careers that employ or intersect with art. 

The IES Art Program is also designed to integrate with the IES STEM curriculum.  By collaborating with classroom and enrichment teachers, the art program helps IES students gain an understanding of how the arts and sciences work together while helping to develop critical and creative thinking skills.
