“The arts are an essential element of education, just like reading, writing, and arithmetic…music, dance, painting, and theater are all keys that unlock profound human understanding and accomplishment.”

– William Bennett, Former US Secretary of Education

At Gilpin County Schools we believe in educating the “whole child” and that a well-rounded education provides children with the essential tools for successful futures. Beginning as early as preschool we provide enrichment programs in the arts to all students.
