A Public Charter School - Part of the Sheboygan Area School District

ESAA is a school that recognizes that students learn through a variety of ways often called multiple intelligences which consist of musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, verbal-linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence. Our philosophy of education allows students to learn through the multiple intelligences by pairing the arts and the academics. This allows students the opportunity to learn and express knowledge in a way that plays off of their strengths while still learning the skills necessary to be successful in school. (Click here for more information on Multiple Intelligences). We use the following principles to guide our school:

Increased Arts Instruction
Instruction in dance, drama, music and visual arts Integration of all of the subjects when appropriate

Instruction in Creativity
All children have the ability to be creative thinkers if it is developed

Two-way Integration of Subjects
The arts bring creative ways of knowing content to the academic classes

The arts allow for students to apply what they learn in the academic classes

Instruction based on the Multiple Intelligences
The new question is: how are you smart?

Hands-on Learning
Through integration with the arts, students engage subjects directly and in the end, develop their own interpretations and solutions

Thematic Curriculum
Integrating curriculum under a common theme allows children to make authentic connections
