About This Cause
CalCreative is a unique, vibrant, and relevant educational institution, using an interdisciplinary arts-integrated approach that integrates the Common Core Standards with the Visual and Performing Arts Standards. We serve a diverse community of students and families from TK to 8th grades in the Northeast Los Angeles area. At CalCreative, students actively build and demonstrate their learning and are expected to go beyond getting the right answer; they are expected to be able to critically think of multiple solutions, actively collaborate with others, creatively express their ideas, and effectively communicate them. Our curriculum employs a creative problem-solving model that teaches children more than memorization of facts and figures; it harnesses natural curiosity, fostering children who ask thoughtful questions and use the tools around them to find answers. We nurture a sense of individual achievement throughout all grade-level curriculum, and beginning in kindergarten, much of the creative problem solving is done in groups. This develops critical collaboration skills that are too often overlooked in educational institutions today, but are highly valued in the workplace. At CalCreative, educators are clear that, in the words of writer/businessman Alvin Toffler, “The illiterate of the 21st Century won't be those who can't read or write, but those who can't learn, unlearn and relearn." Given the advances in technology and artificial intelligence, we are preparing students for jobs that do not yet exist. CalCreative is grounded in the belief that arts are a natural cornerstone to a successful educational program. Research has shown that high-quality arts education builds community among diverse populations; and develops self-motivated and competent lifelong learners.
