The mission of the Vergennes seven through twelve art curriculum is to ensure each student has a chance to explore and create art to the extent of their desire. Although we have created a pathway for the student highly interested in art to work towards acceptance into a post-secondary art program, we also gear our introductory classes toward helping any student enjoy and improve their artistic knowledge and skills. We want every human to stay connected to their aesthetic intelligence and be able to see the artistic aspects of any field of interest along their path to self-actualization.
