Our approach
Creative learning throughout the day.
The visual and performing arts connect academic and social-emotional learning with conflict resolution. By creating an inclusive environment, students learn to trust their unique voices, practice big-picture thinking, and gain valuable experiences that guide them in making thoughtful choices.
Before-school
Before the school day begins, students connect through socializing and movement to support physical health and mental readiness for learning.
TK–K
Young learners use music, movement, and art to build confidence and emotional awareness in a seamless full-day program with escorted transitions to and from their AM or PM TK–K classes, eliminating midday pickups.
After-School learning
Our after-school programs combine creative arts, academic enrichment, homework support, STEM exploration, and sports to spark curiosity, build confidence, encourage kindness, and develop friendship and conflict-resolution skills.
School Intersessions
School Intersession programs offer full-day, theme-based camps on school campuses during spring, summer, fall, and winter breaks, combining creative makerspace projects, peer collaboration, and physical activity.
Parents appreciate a safe, enriching environment for their children without disrupting their work obligations. The NorCal Arts ExL programs are aligned with our partner school district missions.
