Our recent production of Beauty and the Beast was an incredible success! It's just one shining example of how A+ Arts Integration is at work in our school.

Columbia Elementary is the only A+ Arts school in downtown Colorado Springs.

Arts Integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both.     

As an arts integrated school in District 11, Columbia Elementary’s purpose is to engage learners in a connected and empowering community, where critical thinking, curiosity and wonder are nurtured through inquiry and arts for all.
