Philosophy

Philosophy

We are an Existentialist school.This simply means that the student will study what they want to study and do what they believe.Students can learn what they want to learn.They pick their own subjects.H.S.A. uses this philosophy because we don't believe in just giving a student a roster about a subject that they never heard of before or just don't like at all.We want students to do well and be happy and that can not be accomplished if the student does not like the classes that they are in or does not understand the subject.We believe that our existentialists philosophy is definitely going to help our students become better artists because the students will learn what they are best at which will heighten their experience. Dance In dance classes, students can choose what type of dance they would like to do.Salsa,hip hop,tango,ballet,we have all kinds of dances from different cultures.We use this class to incorporate dance in a way that they like and what they want to know about.Students can study the type of dance that they want.There are alot of independent projects.Students are recently working on a project where they are working to create a play through dance without verbal use.

 Art In art classes, students learn about art and the origin of it in the beginning of the year then they progress and start doing their own projects.If a student would like to paint,they could paint.If a student would want to learn how to make clay models,they could learn how to do it.Because of this,we have many art classes because we don't want anything to clash.

Music In music classes, students learn about music from different cultures and different genres.Classical music has its own class as well as Pop music. Students can study lyrics also.In music class,students actually listen to music they like and want to learn about.
