Excerpt:Victoria School of the Arts is a public school in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada operated by Edmonton Public Schools, offering students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 an arts-focused education. Now known as just Victoria School for the arts, it was formerly known as Victoria Composite High School or "Vic Comp" for short. In 1985, Bob Maskell took over the position of school principal with the intention of transforming the school from a vocational school with a low enrollment and bad reputation to an arts-based alternative school. He sold off the vocational equipment to finance large-scale renovations, and recruited a staff qualified in a broad range of arts disciplines. This staff included Tami Dowler-Coltman, a drama specialist who would help to write new curriculum and classes for the school. Tami also had her work at "Vic" recognized by receiving the Prime Ministers excellence in teaching. Because of the work of Maskell and Dowler-Coltman Victoria School of the Arts has become one of the top arts-focused schools in North America. The school is an International Baccalaureate school, and offers the IB program for grades K-12: one of the only schools in Canada to do so. There are five programs students may pursue at Victoria; Design and New Media, Visual Arts, Theatre, Dance, and Music. In addition to its academic and arts programs, Victoria School is known for its cheer teams. The 1994 Large Squad team won the Suzuta...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=8434118 ... Read more

Excerpt:The Sudbury Valley School was founded in 1968 in Framingham, Massachusetts, United States. There are now over 35 schools based on the Sudbury Model in the United States, Canada, Denmark, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Australia, Belgium and Germany. The model has two basic tenets: educational freedom and democratic governance. The school is attended by children from the ages of 4 to 19. The school's educational philosophy asserts that giving children trust and responsibility at an early age enables them to learn what they want, why they want it, and how to achieve it. Students at the school are free to choose how to spend their time. Democratic freedom is also a central tenet of the educational philosophy. The school is run by the weekly Campus Meeting, which uses a modified form of parliamentary procedure. Students and staff are invited to participate in the running of the school via the Campus Meeting, with each participant receiving one vote. The meetings are conducted using Robert's Rules of Order. The Campus Meetings determine rules and regulations for all aspects of the school, including finances, new rules, and the election of staff. To keep the school running smoothly, it also creates Clerks, Committees, and Campus Corporations. Clerks are essentially administrative officers that handle tasks within the Campus, such as grounds maintenance or attendance records. Committees handle larger tasks, such as sch...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21063145 ... Read more

Excerpt: The École nationale de cirque (English: ) is a professional circus school located in Montréal, Québec, Canada. It is a school for higher education in arts; after the great schools of music, dance and theatre, the NCS also offers academic subjects at the secondary and college levels. It is the only circus school in the Western world to offer the complete spectrum of professional education, from preparatory programs for young people ages 9 and older to professional placement for graduate artists, as well as training for circus instructors and trainers. At the Centre Immaculée-Conception, a circus school begins to attract young artists interested in theatrical acrobatics. A real passion for all circus arts develops, training expands. Programming evolves as students of various backgrounds come together, united by a firm intention to become true circus artists. Very soon the Centre Immaculée-Conception can no longer contain the rapid growth of the National Circus School (NCS). In 1989 the School moved to the Gare Dalhousie facilities in Old Montreal. The only institution to offer professional circus teaching in North America, the NCS has become one of the world's major circus schools. Meanwhile, contemporary circus arts experience exponential growth throughout the world. The need to train a greater number of versatile and highly skilled artists, by now the hallmark of the Quebec circus, is apparent. The NCS launches into a new phase of growth that sees it relocating to the Cité des Arts du Cirque as a founding member, along with Cirque d...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4277294 ... Read more

Designed by the architectural firm Coop
Himmelb(l)au, Central Los Angeles High
School #9 for the Visual and Performing
Arts has generated as much controversy
as excitement, but there is no debate
about its visual impact on the LA skyline
and the possibility it represents for an
underserved population of young artists. This book takes readers through the evolution of the project
from the first sketch to the finished building. It discusses
the principles of urban planning that drove the design as
well as the important social and cultural aspects of such
a project. Various texts discuss the process that led to
Coop Himmelb(l)au s commission and describe Los Angeles s
unique geographic and socio-economic situation. Most
importantly this monograph introduces readers to the
challenges and rewards of building an urban school that
celebrates as well as teaches the visual arts. ... Read more

Excerpt: School for Creative and Performing Arts -Bill Dickinson (left) and Dr. Donald Waldrip at a Cincinnati Boy Choir performance on Fountain Square, c. 1974. Dickinson led the school from its founding in 1973 until 1991.The School for Creative and Performing Arts arose, in part, as a response to the recurring desegregation battles in the Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In a 1965 civil rights suit, the city had prevailed when a federal judge had found that the schools were not intentionally segregated, but rather that "the racial composition of each school is simply a result of the racial composition of the neighborhoods which they serve." By 1971, Cincinnati's neighborhoods and schools had grown more segregated and the Supreme Court of the United States had upheld forced busing as a remedy for school segregation in other cities. Desiring to avoid such drastic remedies for Cincinnati, then newly appointed Superintendent Dr. Donald Waldrip pushed forward a program of alternative schools (or what would later be called magnet schools), "designed to calm the desires of parents for academic choice and to stem the demands of federal judges for court-ordered desegregation." The theory behind alternative schools was open enrollment: students could attend any alternative school they chose at no additional cost, so long as an even racial balance at the new school was maintained. "Students were admitted to these programs on a one-for-one basis (one white for one black) so far as possible." The School for Creative and Performing Arts was to become the first alternative school in what would become "one of the largest and most vigorous" magnet...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25456621 ...
